custom buttons
tried to install custombuttons after download. got message oops not your fault. would not let me copy text as you requested.
Try this file. 4 buttons, these are the ones I use, Frame prepared image. Flash Laser. Laser on for focussing. Find center of prepared image.
Just download from the link below and import, no need to extract the file. Just Right click on the buttons bar and click Import Custom Buttons and select the file you downloaded. It should ask you if you want to remove any buttons you may already have. If you don't have any then you just click yes to the ones you want, you don't have to have all 4.
HI,THIS IS THE SAME MESSAGE I GOT WITH THE OTHER BUTTON DOWNLOADS. ALSO WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN A FILE NOTHING HAPPENS. THE UNIT IS ON I CAN MOVE IT MANUALY BUT CANT OPEN ANY FILES.ALSO LASER BUTTON DISAPEARED. PLEASE HELP. ELLIOTT
What do you mean the laser button dissapeared, you mean the Start button (Green Triangle)?

No the laser that was in the custom button to see the position.
I had an previous version Problem started when I upgraded. I can’t find last stable version. Could you send it to me to try. I really need to get this working. I want to learn then move up a more substantial laser engraver To start a business doing portraits. Please help. Elliott
Could you please take a screenshot of the error message? Or try to copy it with CTRL+C? It would help a lot in solving your issue.
This is the link for the latest version which I use and it seems to work fine. https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/releases/latest/download/install.exe
LaserGRBL needs Microsoft .Net Framework software to work properly, so you could also update that, just to see if it makes a difference. The lastest version is here. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
Also, you did'nt say which machine you have or the firmware it has.
Can you tell me that as well. The firmware version should show here when you start LaserGRBL and click Connect.
I sent screenshot of button problem. The file issue doesn’t give erro. When I hit file- open nothing happens. I can take 2 screen shots but it won’t show anything. It won’t open to select a file just like it won’t open to install buttons.
Sorry, I can't seem to find any screenshots except Stuart's. Images sent by email are not appearing on GitHub. You need to post them directly here :/

May be because it's an Ortur laser. A lot of people have problems with them.
Can it be fixed. What can I do. It got good reviews on YouTube. That’s why I got it
The laser might be of good quality, but uses a different kind of microcontroller and a 3rd party version of GRBL, which may cause problems with LaserGRBL compared to standard aruino based controllers. I don't think the file opening issue is related to any engraving device. Can you open a file while your machine is disconnected? EDIT: Give UniversalGcodeSender a try
can you refer me to a copy of the previous version. Please help me. I’m trying to make a few bucks and I don’t have it too much money to lose. I’m 77 years old and Right now I’m on a fixed income from the VA and Social Security.
As to hey third-party software the instructions were to load it downloaded it from your site. That’s what I did. unless I was hijacked somewhere else and didn’t know it..Please help me and tell me what to do
You can find all the releases, including older ones at https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/releases If you can remember the version number, you can download that release, otherwise, you need to try them one-by-one
Hello, i am the developer of LaserGRBL
I don't know nothing about ortur laser. I have neither positive nor negative judgments. As far as I know it is only a machine, like many others, that are sold on the internet. If they distribute a customized version of LaserGRBL I can't help you.
Official LaserGRBL can be downloaded here: https://lasergrbl.com/download/ Or here: https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/releases
For a full reinstall you should:
- remove current installation from control panel (guide)
- delete or rename LaserGRBL preference and settings folder located in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\LaserGRBL
- download and install LaserGRBL from official site: https://lasergrbl.com/download/
For step 2 please note that "AppData" folder is an hidden folder, To be sure to see that folder you should check "show hidden folder" in view options.
Now you have a clean, fresh install of official LaserGRBL.
Download my custom buttons from here: https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/files/4415289/MyButtons.gz
Or stuart ones, they are both good: https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/files/4569457/CustomButtons.gz
Right click on custom button area and select "import" option.
Select downloaded file and ask Yes to import dialog.
I am 100% sure that this procedure is working for official LaserGRBL. If not, please attach video or photo of your error.
Thank you so much for your help I have to leave now but I will be back in the morning and I will try it. I will let you know how it works again thank you so much for your trying to help me ELLIOTT
@arkypita
I know the Ortur uses a 32bit controller board, don't kow if it would cause all the problems though.
Sorry I was sick yesterday. Did all you said. Same results. Just noticed when I was checking settings: There was no setting tab.I clicked in work area (see above). I noticed it is consistenly calling E:There is no E: could that be the problem. It is looking fore the button and imiage files in e:IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM HOW DO I FIX. HOW DO I CORRECT LOCATION? ALSO WHERE IS SETTING TAB.THANKSELLIOTT
I suggest you stopping using email to reply this thread. Look like your email client is not compatible with github and in your reply we read a lot of weird text that make your messages difficult to read.
Simply go to https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/issues/987 and reply using reply box. Thank you
Sorry about that. I think I figured out the problem. I was able to drag a image in and engrave. When I tried to do the buttons I got that crazy message and I read it much slower this time. It looks like the problem is everything is being looked for on the E Drive. I don’t have an E drive. So that’s why I think we have the error. How can we change it? Also can you send me the text of the four buttons so I can enter it manually if necessary? Thank you ELLIOT
Please acknowledge that you saw my last post. That could solve my problems I believe. Is there a way to get rid of that iDrive call. Also is it possible to get the text of the buttons so I can enter them manually please respond
I would gladly help you but your requests are not clear at all. What are you trying to do when this "e drive" comes out? What is "e drive"?
LaserGRBL does not look for any "e drive" or "iDrive". Use the standard windows "open file" window. Use it to navigate the folders and choose the custom button file, as I described a few messages ago.
What do you mean you don't have the settings tab? The settings tab cannot disappear!
Put some photos. Describe it better.
Some custom button code can be found here: https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/issues/306
I’m having trouble sending you the picture. I am going to email my response please read it and get back to me. Error is showing That the program is looking for a drive that I don’t have.
Elliott
Here kit is please get back to me. I could not paste to your comment box.
