Cell operation

Send this directly — LaserGRBL (Open File → Send) or the Ray5 SD card. Don't drag it into LightBurn: its import keeps only the shapes and resets every cell to one power/speed. Jog the head to the bottom-left of your scrap first. watch it.

Laser control

The full laser control panel is on the main screen — it opens there automatically. Connect with your Ray5's IP, then Home before jogging.

A job keeps running on the server even if your phone sleeps or loses connection. Also reachable at /phone.html. Stay at the machine — frame before you fire, never run unattended.
