What's On the SD card

The unit comes with a USB SD card reader.On the SD card which came with the machine and was plugged into the controller is a Gcode file:
  • sd_default.nc
Seems the VG-L7X runs on real gcode :). [yes but a proprietary version of GrBL]
sd_default.nc file

Maker Forums

https://forum.makerforums.info/t/vigotec-vg-l7-bx20/79893/18This is only for the L7, not the VG-L7XFinally figured my L7 out I think. Opened the “Read This” note in the software and it says to use the basic firmware when you want to use other software. I naturally installed the latest when I set mine up.SO. I went back and installed the ‘basic’ and low and behold LB is running. So here is the ‘note’ and good luck to you all!**4.If you have other control software and want to use it, please upload the standard grbl firmware named ‘Standard_Grbl_1.1f.hex’. Or if you have the appropriate firmware just for the control software, upload it! If you want to use other engraving machine control software, please update the firmware of the engraving machine motherboard to general firmware. **

Upload Instructions for Standard Vigotec

  • Open www.vigotec.cn 7
  • Download file VG-L7 laser engraver
  • Open file and extract all
  • (Read the “ReadMe important” file, it has all explaind).
  • Open "driver_and_upload_tools file.
