Recently got a Vigotec VG-L7 engraving machine. Thought to check connection before downloading their software/firmware and it appeared to have generic Grbl 1.1f on the laser controller board… which I was ecstatic about (didn’t want their proprietary stuff). Anyway, after using it for a while noticed the same thing… after every connection reset, the $32=1 setting I wanted was set back to 0. Finally decided to try reflashing with Grbl 1.1h that I use on all my other machines and was successful. Now my settings are retained between jobs/resets. It’s now a nice generic little Grbl machine.
