I am using the spreadcycle version of the GRBL-LPC you wrote for the Cohesion 3D Laserboard. If all goes well, there should be a firmware.bin in the \build directory.Įdit \grbl\config.h if you need special version such as coreXY Run these commands in the following order I used cprezzi forkĬhange directory to the downloaded source code, should be \grbl-LPC PATH=C:\Windows\system32 C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\Wbem C:\Program Files\Git\cmd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\6 2017-q1-update\binĭownload the grbl-LPC source code. Set your Windows PATH to include the git,make and ARM toolchain Install GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain (I used the Windows 32bit.

You can use Virtual box, Vmware, Windows Virtual PC etc. I used a new windows virtual machine so not to mess up my existing build environment. This is how I did it and is not necessarily the correct/only way. I’m starting to test out grbl-LPC and wanted to compile my own version. Google+ will be closing down in the near future. This is the compiling instructions I originally posted in Google+ groups over a year ago. It works very well for my small format CO2 laser. It runs my K40 laser using Lightburn Laser software. I’m eager to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.I use grbl-lpc firmware on my Cohesion3d mini controller board. I was thinking of a Cohesion3D board would solve some of these issues.

I would also love to be able to burn nice grey scale images into wood. (assumably due to the laser having to travel further.) I find that my laser is strong enough to cut with one stroke in the top left…but needs a lot more in the bottom right. It is nigh on impossible to ensure I’m using the same power as I have done before, but a basic Google search shows that the digital controls are not accurate/sensitive enough.

I also have a super simple air assist, basic aquarium air pump though so not very strong. I have removed the stock holder thingy and put in a piece of steel with nuts welded to it so I can modify the height manually using its “legs” ( bolts). It has an analogue knob to control the laser power and I use inkscape and K40 whisperer for my designs. Advice Requested Hello, I’ve been playing around with my basic K40 Laser for a while now.
