Have you checked some threads? I only glanced but it looks like you might have a Marlin controller and can use it.

My bad about M117. Was trying to gather information. Making progress. I’ve got the source code for the 1.2.9 firmware on the Mega Pro. My issue is that I’m not sure what the gcode should look like. But I’ll add some snippets that I think are associated. //============================================================================= //=============================== LASER PRINT SETTING ========================= //============================================================================= #…

Again the only thing holding me back from buying the program is it can’t find my laser on it’s own and I think their are other users looking for this as well and sympathize with me

LightBurn didn’t just automagically find my laser either and it’s common. That’s not the point of what I said. What controller do you have? Have you tried the other threads where others have?

How do I find that???

AnyCube uses a proprietary firmware that looks like a custom version of Marlin.

Marlin 2.0.x connection issues a possible fix suggestion

[quote=“quid_non, post:8, topic:30743”] it can recognize it as a GRBL-M3 (1.1e or earlier).[/quote] You said it recognizes it as GRBL-M3. If you’re running Marlin, you need to configure it manually as a Marlin device, as it says in the docs: Find My Laser - LightBurn Software Documentation [Snag_7d73074]

I found this to help with understand, https://all3dp.com/2/anycubic-i3-mega-firmware-update/

You will find many threads talking about what is required to support this hardware. I suggest you get a fresh cup of your fav beverage, and hit the search here on this forum for further on the subject.

according to that page and I don’t want to risk bricking the device or where I cant print using cura

The Anycubic i3 Mega can’t run Marlin, but there’s a customized version of Marlin V1.1.9 suited for the Mega. The customized version, made by David Ramiro, is based on the official Marlin firmware. It is also open source, and you can see all of the newest updates as well as installation instructions, known issues, and more on the official GitHub page.
