First of all I am a complete novice with lasers and I am 78, years old. I have an Ortur Laser Master 2 laser engraver. I downloaded and installed the Lightburn software. But nothing I do in Lightburn seems to be getting to my laser. I viewed the Lightburn on line guide for beginners and when I installed my Lightburn The page to find my laser never opened. Therefore I am assuming that my laser is not connected to Lightburn software. ANY and ALL assistance will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank YOU
I also have Gimp downloaded and I can move the laser head around but can not fire the laser
When you say you can move the laser around, do you mean jogging it with the controls in LightBurn? If so, that’s a good start. Have you been through the basic walkthrough and setup in our instructions yet?
This is how to connect, assuming your laser is plugged in and the drivers are installed:

You might need a driver for the Ortur, which would be included with whatever software it came with. You might need to install that to get the correct driver.
Start here and work forward until you get to “Simple Project”:

THANK YOU Oz, With your help, I have got it going correctly. Thank YOU
