Guides
Task-driven walkthroughs grouped by what you are trying to accomplish.
Guides are end-to-end recipes. Each subsection covers a domain; each guide inside walks through one specific task.
In this section
- Hardware setup: one-time machine configuration for profiles, origin, and camera installation, plus the current rotary-support status.
- Firmware: GRBL configuration, baud rate, the full
$settings reference. - Camera: capture a fixed camera frame, position the overlay, and troubleshoot placement.
- Projects and techniques: engrave a photo, cut acrylic with kerf, text on a curve, more.
- Quality: calibration tests for material, focus, scan interval.
- Automation: drive Beam Bench from the CLI or HTTP API, build macros.
Where to look first
- New to lasers: walk Get Started first, then dip into Projects guides for tasks you want to try.
- New machine setup: Hardware Setup → Firmware → Camera (if you have one) → Quality.
- Stuck on a specific task: Projects is the place to look.
- Automating from outside the app: Automation.
