Hi Everyone, Thanks in advance for hearing me out. I’ll try to keep it short.
I have a Galvo SPI laser from 2014. It’s been working great with EZCAD2 but i want to transition to Lightburn. I’ve copied all my settings, no driver issues, Lightburn picked up the laser automatically, no issues there. It will frame, red dot on/off, the mirrors will move, but it refuses to actually fire the laser. Yes it’s in focus, no there are no hardware issues. A simple driver swap back to EZCAD2 and it fires perfectly. At this point i’ve swapped back and forth 3 dozen times troubleshooting so no there’s nothing wrong with the laser. Either Lightburn just wont work with my specific laser, or there’s some obvious setting i’m missing. I’ve messed with everyone from frequency to laser-type to ports, nothing fires the laser. It will pretend to mark (right light obviously shows movement) but the laser will never actually turn on to mark.
Sorry if i sound a bit curt and rude but i’ve been scouring these forums and the internet for a solution. Everyone suggests the simple stuff like "is your driver installed, “Is your laser out of focus”, and 99/100 yes that’s the issue, but it’s not the issue for me. I will be forever grateful if someone could point out what i’m doing wrong here.
Here are my EZCAD config info, and my Lightburn config info pics.
