Lightburn does not recognize my xTool D1 Pro. Have installed the CH34xVCPDriver to no avail. The xTool Creative Space connected with no problem. Using a MacBook Air M1.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
While I donāt have a mac, doublecheck your COM. Maybe cycle through them until it says ready.
have you tried importing the machine profile from the Xtool program files?

Iām not sure what you mean āimporting the machine profile from the xTool program filesā. Iām not very computer savvy. Please explainā¦and thanks for responding.
download this file and in the "new laser setup wizard window
hit the āimportā button. then open the file you just downloaded. these are the saved setting that xtool has made for GBRL which is the language that your laser uses once it connected to lightburn.
then lets make sure your machine origin is top left as shown here.
Please confirm that XCS is closed and not running in the background. If XCS is hanging on to the USB Port it canāt be found by another program or application.
Iām not certain thatās the same driver that I used but it may be worth a shot.
You may also need admin access to the computer to allow the driver installation to proceed.
The Driver is here:
Big friendly download button with a cloud and an arrow - Canāt miss it. 
The Mac offered me some friendly misdirection as an obstacle to getting the installation to completion.
When the mac offers to not install it, or offers you an OK to quit installing, please pick the second choice - the āEnter Passwordā option or āinstall anywayā option.
After the driver is in and working fine, you should see the letters WCH in one of the com port options. Select that port.
If the engraver doesnāt wake up right away, exit LightBurn and relaunch LightBurn. I would be interested to know if an xTool presents this quirk the same way my Comrgo Z1 did.
