For this reason, I decided to not update the board. Note () : The 2S board I received already had 1.1f installed along with good machine settings. Note: It may take several attempts before the update вЂњtakes.вЂќ Follow the instructions on the upgrade tool to upgrade your Neje. If you wish to upgrade to the latest firmware, see NejeвЂ™s specific tool found on the Neje wiki. My 2S board shipped with 1.1f and did not require updating.

There are many advantages to using Lightburn over the Neje Software. If this is the Neje you own, then this is the tutorial for you.ДЄdvantages of Lightburn over Neje Software Master 2S (auto-homing, 32 bit) - This is the newer, 32-bit version of the Neje Master 2.

Master 2 (auto-homing) - This is a newer version board of the same Master 2 16-bit Neje. Master 2 (non-S, non-homing) - Tutorial Here - This is the older version of the Master 2 which does not support auto-homing. Master (Original) - This Neje does not support Lightburn and does not have an available tutorial. If you do not have an вЂSвЂ™ after the 2, then this is NOT the correct tutorial for you. There are multiple versions of the Neje Master. MUST READ: Verify you are on the correct tutorial! By following these instructions, you agree to take full responsibility for your health and the safety of your environment. I am merely a Neje user that wanted to use what I believe to be the best available laser software. I am associated with neither Neje nor Lightburn. My preferred alternative laser software is Lightburn. Out of the box, it performs well for simple tasks, but if you want to do more, youвЂ™re going to need to take advantage of alternative software and the Master 2sвЂ™ability to accept regular Gcode. The Neje Master 2S is a small, affordable laser engraver with a strong following.
