  @ibarra23 Well I'm glad you told me it was a dog, because I never would have guessed that

  I would suggest you start with some simple shapes, circles are a good choice as you'll see immediately if they are connecting (start to end) or not, and then you can repeat the same job again and see if it matches or is shifting.

  These tests will tell you if it's a backlash (belt) issue, motors losing steps (current or friction) issue or something else.

  I don't know what parameters you can change in EleksCAM but if you slow the machine down (feed rate) does it improve? Steppers have higher torque at slower speeds so if it's current or friction it may look correct or at least closer if this is the case.

  Zax,
  Thank you for your quick reply and I might try as soon as I have sorted out my laser enclosure and rotary axis. Please accept my apologies for having put Zak instead of Zax.
  John.

  @christhorp Benbox is very old and has been unsupported for years, there is no new firmware so it only works with the custom Grbl 0.8 version. T2Laser comes with Grbl 1.1 which works correctly with your Mana board.

  @taggg74 Are you using my default Grbl 1.1e firmware? If so and the Y-axis isn't working you should disconnect the belts and check each motor is turning correctly.

  @matrixmorfeus T2Laser supports Gerber files for engraving PCB layouts, you can test it with the trail version.

  @icejoker You may have installed LaserAxe or other controller firmware.

  This is the default firmware for Eleks systems:
  

  If you were in the Custom firmware menu then you need to be careful and only load what is compatible with your machine, in this case I think you may have corrupted the Nano. As I said that can be fixed but you will probably need to use Arduino IDE to reload the boot loader. You could try the Clear EEPROM option and then load the default, it may work depending what firmware you have installed.

  @jonesgp08 Did it work in T2Laser?

  If you followed my instructions (0.9i is correct) and configured the firmware in T2Laser by selecting the EleksDraw option, then you should test it as mentioned.

  When you load EleksCAM and use the RST rom it's going to change parameters.

  The only suggestion I can give is to try different software or a terminal program and connect directly to the machine.

  Here are the basics...
  Did you install the device driver?
  When the laser is connected does it show up in control panels as a CH340 COM port?
  Are you selecting the correct COM port and baud rate?
  Have you installed and configured the firmware on your machine?

  I can walk you through this process with T2Laser but others will need to help with EleksCAM as I've never used it.
