Laser engraving has become an increasingly popular hobby and profession, offering a creative outlet for personalization and customization. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just diving into the world of laser engraving, mastering the connection between LaserGRBL and your DIY KIT MINI is essential for achieving precise and stunning results. We'll walk you through the process step by step, ensuring that you can unleash the full potential of your laser engraver.

The first step in utilizing your DIY KIT MINI for laser engraving is to power on the machine. Once powered on, take out the USB cable and connect the DIY KIT MINI to your computer. Additionally, ensure that the power cable is securely connected to a power source to provide the necessary energy for operation.

With the machine powered on and connected, it's time to prepare your engraving material and focus the laser. Begin by moving the laser module over the item you intend to engrave. Then, place the laser focus tool between the engraving material and the laser module. Adjust the height of the laser module to allow it to touch the focus tool, ensuring precise focusing. Make sure the focus tool can be smoothly pulled out once the adjustment is complete. Finally, press the power button and wait for the machine to initialize.

Now that your machine is ready, it's time to configure the settings in LaserGRBL. Confirm that the "COM" option is set to "COM3" and the "Baud" rate is set to "115200". Click on the lightning icon to establish a connection between LaserGRBL and your DIY KIT MINI. Next, click on "File" to import the image you wish to engrave.

After importing the image, confirm the parameters and click "Next" in the lower right corner of the pop-up window. Set the engraving parameters according to your preferences, then click "Create!". To ensure the engraving area is correctly defined, click "Frame". Once satisfied, click on the small green triangle in the upper left corner to initiate the engraving process.

For vector images, follow a similar process, clicking "Vectorize!" after importing the image. Adjust the image contrast as needed, then click "Next". Set the parameters for cutting, including selecting "Laser Mode" as "M3-Constant Power", and click "Create!". Confirm the cutting area by clicking "Frame", then initiate the cutting process by clicking the small green triangle.

With these steps, you've successfully connected LaserGRBL with your DIY KIT MINI and are ready to embark on your laser engraving journey. Whether you're engraving intricate designs or cutting precise shapes, mastering this connection opens up a world of creative possibilities.
