OK, so i am new here and new to the laser engraving.
Long story short, i thought i did my research, obviously not enough, any way, i bought it. Got it, thought i really liked it. came with Benbox software.
I am burning away, having a good old time, then today, the laser stops in mid burn, hit the pause, then hit play, it continues where it stopped, ok, no problem, but why did it stop, not sure. check when it is done. It continues to burn for a bit, then repeats, the laser just stops, i hit the pause button, and then the play button, it continues, now it does this several more times, then it really messes up towards the end of the project, skips a lot and then tries to finish but now i have this huge skip spot in the finished project, not going to work.
This thing has a ardunio nano328p ch340g on it, with two y-axis servos and one x-axis servo and a 3000mW laser, that i was really impressed with what i can get it to burn/etch.
in my thinking, ok, i didn't verify that the latest firmware was in the device when i bought it, so i went in and tried to update the firmware the way the destruction-al video shows, so i put in the firmware, and go to set everything up, well guess what? now the thing wont work, so i thought let me try a different one, nope didn't work.
GOGGLE - help!?!?!?(not always find what you want)
I find T2laser, hopefully answer to my prayers,
download, install, and think firmware is screwed up any way, lets give it a go and drop this one in and see what happens, hmm, failed, try again with nano+, oh it went it, cool,
nope,
can't get the laser to come on, can't get anything to move or work, what to do?
go back to Benbox, didn't want to, but i had 9 different firmware to try, start at the top and work my way down,
finally got one to work and everything is back to normal, as i can get it.
Now that i have a working laser again, can someone help me figure out if this thing will work with T2laser?
Once i drop the new firmware in it, do i have to set up other things? because when i finally got the Benbox back up, i had to set the pins for the servo's and the laser to where they are.
is there something like that in T2laser? i have not been able to locate them if there is, or am i wasting my time?
