I changed the controller board in my K40 some 7 years ago from the mosi crap it came with to an open sourse board called LOAS
It all works very well, but the cutting software is rather basic, it is called visicut
would love to use lightburn - is it possible ?
Don’t see that animal in the list…
Supports the following controllers:
Ruida (RDC6442G / S, RDC6445, RDC6332G, RDC6344S, RDLC-320, RDLC-220)
Trocen Anywells AWC 708c Lite and AWC 608
LightObject R5-DSP, X7-DSP, and LO-E5
TopWisdom TL-403CB, TL-410C, TL-A1
Smoothieware (GCode based)
Grbl / Grbl-LPC (GCode based)
Marlin (GCode based)
I couldn’t find anything about LOAS but did fine LAOS - Laser Open Source. Is this one in the same?
It’s hard to get a lot of information about it but it looks like this is built on an old version of GRBL. It’s possible this might work if setup as a GRBL-M3 device.
Are you able to run a $I to GRBL to get version information or do you know what version it uses?
Alternatively, is there another firmware you could flash to the board? I think Smoothieware might have a version that works on that MCU.
It does look an awful like a grbl board, although I didn’t look at the software. The processor is a Cortex M3.
The link supplied by @berainlb has lots of information. I read through some of it, but it didn’t ever say it was a grbl based board.
You can download and install the software for a ‘free trial’ for 30 days. I’d try that, unless you know it’s not a grbl board, but it ‘might’ work…?
All it can really do is not work…
Good luck
