First of all: Great programm. Thanks for that.
I want to build a big laser engraver ( 3,5m x 3,5m).
As i want to do some files first, I recognized, that my laptop is not powerfull enough to calculate big files.
In this case, i need to transfer my system to another laptop.
Is there a possibility to see and copy a file in the computer for my customized buttons?

It would be much easier to copy a file than to create new buttons on new computer.

Kind regards in advance

3.5m x 3.5m is very huge! I think it will be the biggest frame LaserGRBL will work with.
I think you have read this topic: #139

I have tested LaserGRBL with big sizes, but I want to warn you that an image of 3.5m x 3.5m it is very very big also for LaserGRBL. This kind of image processed @ 10lines/mm require that LaserGRBL generate a bitmap of 35000*35000 pixels, that in memory require about 5GB.

Since LaserGRBL should load the image in memory more than one time (i.e. during transformation like from color to grayscale the image exist in memory both colored and grayscaled) the managment of this size of image will require easly 15-20 GB of RAM otherwise the swap on disk will be used and the process will become very slow.

You have poor quality arduino clone or electrical noise on serial line.

Hi
I made some more trials with different results.

First i changed all cable connections, but the result became worst.

  1. Pizza_2
    pizza_2
  2. Pizza_horizontal (Horizontal Filling)
    pizza_horizontal
  3. Pizza_diagonal (Diagonal Filling
    pizza_diagonal

I recognized, that with every test the result become worst more than before.
After this i deinstalled your program and installed it new.

Now everything works fine.
