Connecting RAY5 mini to LaserGRBL via Wi-Fi

The RAY5 mini can connect to LaserGRBL via Wi-Fi in two modes: STA mode and AP mode. The difference is that in AP mode, the computer does not have internet access, whereas in STA mode, the computer can maintain internet connectivity.

(1) Connecting RAY5 mini to LaserGRBL via Wi-Fi in AP mode

Launch LaserGRBL and go to Grbl > Settings.

Select Telnet as the connection protocol, then click Save.

Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network starting with LongerLaser_XXXX and enter the password 12345678.

In the IP:PORT field, enter 192.168.0.1:8847 and click Connect.

(2) Connecting RAY5 mini to LaserGRBL via Wi-Fi in STA mode

Launch LaserGRBL and go to Grbl > Settings.

Select Telnet as the connection protocol, then click Save.

In the console, enter the following command:

$radio/mode=sta

$sta/ssid=Your_SSID

$sta/password=Your_PassWord

$wifi/begin

In the $sta/ssid and $sta/password commands, replace Your_SSID and Your_PassWord with your Wi-Fi network name and password. Press Enter after each command to switch the RAY5 mini to STA mode. Once the connection is successful, the console will display the assigned IP address.

Make sure your computer is on the same LAN as the Wi-Fi network. Then, in the IP:PORT field, enter the displayed IP address and port (for example, 192.168.1.101:8847) and click Connect.
