ROBOT LASER PROJECT

Last Stable version is last fully tested version, 

in any case can not be guaranteed bug free.
Overnight snapshot is the latest release under development
It is not fully tested and may generate instabilities

basic installation
The programs are developed in portable technology.
To install a full version simply unzip the module and copy it to the favorite folder.
The overnight snapshot, instead, contain only the updates (generally only RobotLaser.exe) 

to be copied to the installation folder overwriting the old files 

(ALWAYS do a backup before).

To register the program, follow the instructions at startup, or by the Info button (Question Mark)
It 'important to use a valid email address because the answer will be sent to the email indicated.

The license is tied to disk where it is installed RobotLaser, 

if you want to use the program on more than one PC,

 just install the program on removable disk (USB stick etc.)


Moving to another PC you can validate the program with the same received license 

(Always make a backup of the license, another copy will not release out of the beta phase).

 

Sometimes can happen that the installation of the license fails (for policy or PC antivirus, or other)
In this case there will be an error of type "Licensig Problem" 

Will be necessary delete the old license through LicenseKiller program, 

to be activated with a password be requested by email.

NO MORE NECESSARY from ver 0.6.0

 

Now is possible to use MARLIN Firmware to drive a 3D printer with laser in place of extrusor. 

Is also possible to install a milling cutter -> MiniCNC

It will soon be available a version of GRBL for Arduino Uno + RAMPS 1.4 hardware.

 

NOTE 

Take a look on the Benbox Laser DIY Machines Forum : 

*) Genesis of a Laser Controller

*) RobotLaser Beta Released

*) DXF Import

*) Release 0.5.2
