This is a general update of the DriveboardApp recommended for all users. It a minor update over v18.05 making the homing cycle a bit more tolerant to switch precision.
For a standard Lasersaur (Driveboard v14.03, Driveboard Element) everything should work out of the box. Simply download the binary for your platform and double-click it. On Linux you may need to make it executable first. On OSX you may have to Ctrl-click/open it to by-pass a security setting which disallows unsigned apps from being double-click opened.
NOTE: You will also have to run "Flash Firmware" from the UI.
For development, troubleshooting, non-standard machines you should run the app from sources. For this you need python 2.7 with the pillow package installed (raster engraving will fail without pillow). There are two levels on which to change configuration: firmware config files, and app config files. Firmware config files work as always. App config files can now be specified on the command line when starting the app. This makes it very comfortable to play with many custom settings.
