wizmaker wand - no idea what the driver is (newbie here)
I downloaded your latest version of lighburn (which is your last verion)
I noticed that in the manual it states only mac and windows drivers, (have contacted them directly) no response yet.
does the lightburn software install its own drivers for the linux os?
if not, what would be a comparable laser as this one… 7w 300mm x 300mm beam model
thanks

Lightburn version 1.7.08 is the last to run on the Linux platform.
The only driver you should need is the CH340 for USB serial communications.
Don’t think that’s 100% true but most of the time it works. There are lots of drivers supplied with Ubuntu buried within the OS. You would likely have to install it.
I had to pluck one to use one of my $80 laser from Amazon. I ended up checking the chip number and matching it to that.
Thanks for the additional detail. I am mostly a Windows dude.
No perspiration…
LightBurn does not install any USB drivers on Linux. They are handled by the Kernel.
From our docs:
The laser is treated as a libusb device and should just work.
If you can’t see the COM port, it’s more likely a permissions issue.
Enter this command in a terminal to add the current user to the “dialout” and “tty” group:
sudo adduser $USER dialout && sudo adduser $USER tty
