  @jottajotta I can only help if you use T2Laser.

  The steps are simple, if needed install the CH340 driver from the Help menu and then select the COM port and connect to your machine. It should work.

  @traceyanna The manual is included, click Help / Manual or press Shift-F1. You will also find some videos to learn the basics in the Help menu and I have some quick guides for various features on my website.

  @Annie Check the wiring, there's only 3 connections you need. 12VDC power and ground, and the TTL signal.

  Open GRBL cfg and change $ 100 and $ 101, decrease the number by as much as the image is larger. I think in the original it is 160, if it is twice as big it is reduced to 80.

  @upmike I use USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports on my computer, no issues with T2Laser and the driver I provide. I suspect the original USB1.0 would work too but I don't have any dinosaur computers to test it.

  @stoikyo Yes of course, that's the main purpose of T2Laser to load an image and generate G-code, you can also load DXF from these drawing programs.

  Do not load G-code from other sources, it is usually not correctly formatted for these machines and will not work as well as T2Laser.

  @doggindave You probably have the motors reversed. In T2Laser you can click the menu to reverse the direction, probably the same in other software.

  @francesco-onorato Are you setting the workpiece origin (0,0) before sending the G-code?

  @lamikr I can tell you that it would work with T2Laser, as it supports dithered and velocity modes. In velocity mode the feed rate is varied instead of laser power (PWM) so you can get true grey scale results even with the older lasers.

  Sounds like a connectivity problem.
  It used to happen to me while using a very old laptop or accidentally touching the cable. Try different USB port or replacing the cable.
  Believe it or not the laser looses connection if I turn on the sound system plugged into the same cable extension socket. So make sure you are running only the laser on one socket.

  Still the problem remains.
  Ive set the X steps manually and the measurements were correct. After a few runs it lost it`s way again.
  The engrave is choppy and wavy and circle end doesnt match.

  One thing I remembered. A while back Ive touch the coil thing on top of the laser where the acrylic is cut in the middle, while turning on low beam and got a slight shock. At that moment the machine turned on and off. I probably fried the MANA board.?
  Ive have already ordered a new one. Just asking if you guys have any thoughts on what is the problem with my laser machine.

  @Devpack As you were able to load firmware using T2Laser it is obviously possible to connect. T2Laser is a complete package, no other software is required. These other programs "lock" the port so after using them you need to reboot to unlock and then you can connect to the COM port. I developed T2Laser along with the default firmware to provide the best performance, it is optimized for Grbl based machines.

  @Zax Thank you for your reply. Good to know that the Nano is the limination. Not sure which direction I will go now: replace the controller, use T2Laser or make my own code to automatically translate a code with loops to a code without loops.

  @Straiky91 @Gert-Jan You need to install the device driver (CH340) first, you can find it in T2Laser Help menu. If you believe it is installed, check device manager as Windows may have changed it to something else.
