Laser Etch is a very practical method for etching black and white designs, logos, or PCB’s. This is simply because the G-code that is generated by Laser Etch will either tell your machine to turn your laser on (to the power setting that you have assigned it) or off, all while rastering over your material. Arduino UNO board with Grbl firmware translate this commands to stepper motor pulses, direction control, laser power modulation. Motor driver transform low level TTL signal from Arduino, to high-power signals for stepper motor. How to Install Candle/GRBL Control for Mac.

Lightburn is a CNC software for G-Code based controllers such as Grbl, Smoothieware, Grbl-LPC, and Marlin.
- SourceRabbit GCode Sender is a cross platform CNC control software for every 3-Axis GRBL compatible CNC machine. It features a highly optimized and asynchronous (event-driven) UI and USB-to-Serial communication and can be also used on computers with small amount of RAM and CPU.
- GRBL 1.1 has all of the following output provided for operating the CNC machine or Laser machine. All of these signals are routed through the GRBL shield to the proper places for the stepper drivers and output connectors. The GRBL Shield goes on top of the Arduino Uno. It is designed to work with GRBL 0.9 to 1.1f.
