Connect Vevorworks Software And Laser Engraving Machine

Long press the power button on the machine panel to turn on it. There are three ways to connect engraving software and the machine.

USB-Serial Connection
Connect the USB-Serial cable to both control board and computer. In general, Win10 can automatically identify the device. Win7 or other OS may need to install driver manually. Please double click ch341ser.exe to install the driver if necessary. Click Connect on top left corner of VevorWorks, SERIAL-ON will be displayed in the title bar, indicating that the connection is successful.
Machine establish Wi-Fi Hotspot Wireless Connection
If the USB cable is connected, be sure to disconnect it.
After the machine turned on, the blue signal light will double flash. It indicates that the machine has established the Wi-Fi hotspot named VIGO- ESPXXXX (Where “XXXX” is its name).
Turn on the wireless network settings of the computer system, and choose to connect VIGO-ESPXXX with password 12345678.
Click Connect on left up corner of VevorWorks. Users will be reminded finding device VIGO-ESPXXX, click OK to connect, and WLAN-ON will be displayed on the title bar, indicating that the connection is successful. Please note that users cannot visit internet in this mode.
Wireless LAN Connection
You are recommended to place the machine and router in the same room when using this connection.
The machine does not support 5G signal WLAN, so please send 2.4G signal SSID to control board. Usually use the SSID name without “5G”.

When VevorWorks has connected to the machine by hotspot, then click Settings; click the Network at the bottom left. Input the SSID (No 5G) and Password, and click Send. The control board will restart automatically after receive the account successfully.
Please make sure to use the 2.4G WLAN for control board. After restart (generally 2-5s), the single flashing of the signal light indicates the successful access to WLAN. If the USB cable is connected, be sure to disconnect it.
Reset the wireless network of the computer to join the same WLAN (It is ok for computer to use whether 2.4G or 5G signal). The title bar of VevorWorks will show the name of WLAN. Click Connect on VevorWorks. Users will be reminded that find device VIGO-ESPXXX, click OK to connect, and WLAN-ON will be displayed on the title bar, indicating that the connection is successful.
Once the machine connected WLAN successfully, Please notice that the machine will connect to this WLAN firstly every time you start it in the future. If the connection fails, the machine will still establish the wireless hotspot VIGO-ESPXXX. If the connection fails, please check whether the 2.4G name and password you send are correct, and try again.

Instructions for Lase

Please wear the protective glasses before operating the laser!
When all the connections are completed, turn on the power, and the laser is standby for working. The indicator light on the top of the laser is continuous lighting at this time.

Turn on the weak light and adjust the focal length
Please lay the materials to be carved flat under the laser.
Please turn on the weak light in the engraving software or press the weak light switch on the top of the laser module. Then the red light will flash and the weak light on. Laser spots can be seen on the materials at this time. Adjust the height of the module, when the laser spots are smallest and clearest, it is the optimum state for laser engraving. Or use the focal length measuring piece to adjust the module height so that the distance from the lower edge of the module protective cover to the engraved object is equal to the height of the measuring piece.
After that, press the weak light switch again, and the weak light is turned off. The red light on the top of the laser is continuous lighting at this time, and the laser is standby for working.
It is important to understand that this weak light switch on the top of the laser module is not controlled by engraving control software. So be sure to switch back to normal (make sure that weak light is off) before you start engraving.
