1.1f grbl for laser engraver

[vix173284]

Hello, where can I find to download 1.1f grbl for arduino nano laser engraver

Hi @vix173284. Under the "interesting" versioning scheme concocted by the developer of the Grbl firmware, there are actually four different versions that might match what you ask for:

• 1.1f.20170131
• 1.1f.20170717
• 1.1f.20170731
• 1.1f.20170801

You can download whichever of those you might want by:

1. Click the link in the list above to open the release page for that version in your web browser.
2. Scroll down to the "Assets" section of the page.
3. Depending on which release you selected, you may now have two options for what you can download:
   • The download link with the .hex file extension is a precompiled binary of the Grbl firmware.
   • The "Source code (zip)" link is the Grbl Arduino library, which allows you to compile and upload the Grbl firmware using Arduino IDE (see instructions here).

Thank you so much for the help, I installed the hex file successfully of 1.1f by xloader but the laser engraver still does not move. do you have any ideas what could be the problem , the previous arduino was replaced by new one and the new one does not work. when I enter in lightburn I can do nothing even to move the stepper motors

Nice!

Although I am fairly knowledgeable on the specific aspects of Grbl related to the use of the Arduino development tools (e.g., installing the library, compiling the sketch, uploading to the board), I don't have any experience at all with CNC machines. So unfortunately I won't be able to assist with this problem.

Hopefully the forum helpers who are knowledgeable in this subject area will be able to help.

It will probably be beneficial for you to provide further details about the problem. Do you see an indication that lightburn is able to communicate with the engraver? It will be doing this over the serial port the Nano board produces on your computer, so there should be some sort of indication of whether lightburn is able to see and connect to that port.

ok, thank you again

@vix173284 has created a dedicated topic for discussion of the "when I enter in lightburn I can do nothing even to move the stepper motors" problem (which I think is wise):

GRBL laser engraver Failed, PLEASE HELP

Hello, I am trying to run GRBL arduino nano laser engraver after arduino replacement, but without success. After the new arduino nano was attached, to the board I installed the 1.1f Hex file to it by xloader, after that the ch340 driver, when I enter Lightburn or laser grbl I can't move nor the stepper motors nor the laser itself even after the connection is successful, what could be the problem for that, is there something that I miss during the process, the machine is with grbl controller with…

Please use that topic for any further discussion of the subject.
