Unsupported or invalid g-code command found in block.
On or near line 2:

Do you have any code listed in Gcode tab in Edit->Device Settings?
If not, can you provide the following:
- Type of controller you have
- Version of GRBL (run
$Iin Console if you’re not certain) - Save gcode for the job using a .txt extension and upload here.
I have the mks dlc32

Can you push the “Save g-code” button in Laser window and save the file with a .txt extension? The .txt extension will allow the file to be uploaded here.
it wont let choose .txt, it sets itself to nc. and there is not drop box to make it txt
You can type an arbitrary extension. Or change it in a file manager after the fact.
sorry im working on it, its being a pain

Finally!
Right off the bat I can see that you setup your device as a GRBL-LPC device. You should be setup as a GRBL device.
Press the “Devices” button in Laser window. Edit your configuration and change the device type to GRBL. Then step through the other configurations assuming they are correct.
Then retest.
Regenerate gcode if you still have a problem and upload.
oops thank you!
now i have this:

Is this a brand new laser setup? How are you connected to the machine?
Go to Edit->Machine Settings. Find $32 and change to 1 if current 0.
Then retest.
its a new board, my old one got fried.

Can you try entering these commands in Console one at a time. Confirm that you get the error:20 when you enter M4.
G00 G17 G40 G21 G54
G90
M4
M8

If so, I’m wondering if you’re running a bad or old firmware.
