Had a guy bring a Chinese laser engraver and asked me to put the software on it , it was arduino based controller .Was a pain in the a$$ to set the grbl library on it because once the drivers wont work, pc would not recognize ports , arduino would not be compiled ,and so on.... Dealt with them one by one until i made it work. I had used grlbl laser almost 2 years ago, it was way simplier back then but now has some nice features like : framing the piece of work ,focus to know where you laser beam is on material ,center ur material, corner , set the speed of engraving ,power of laser , and some useful if i can say CAD features like rotating , mirror and so on..
so for everyone that is planning to start learning a software for laser engraving for art purposes laser Grbl is a good choice for beginners,Also the machines that work with this software are very cheap.
Attached some pictures i made during the machine tuning , results can be way better.
