Lightburn can't find my Sculpfun S9 after update

Nice.

You have multiple drivers loaded. One is likely to work and the other not because they are contending.

You may be able to find the extra driver:

ls /Library/Extensions/*usb*.kext
ls /System/Library/Extensions/*usb*.kext

Hi,
so without the laser connected, I get this:

Christians-MacBook-Pro:~ christianmono$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/usb.kext

Password:

Christians-MacBook-Pro:~ christianmono$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/usbserial.kext

Christians-MacBook-Pro:~ christianmono$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/usb.kext

With the laser connected, I get:

Christians-MacBook-Pro:~ christianmono$ /Library/Extensions/usb.kext

-bash: /Library/Extensions/usb.kext: No such file or directory

Christians-MacBook-Pro:~ christianmono$ /System/Library/Extensions/usb.kext

-bash: /System/Library/Extensions/usb.kext: No such file or directory

Actually, I’ve finally got it to work!! I tried once more to remove the old drivers then re-booted the computer while the laser was on and connected to new hub. I still got the message that “Homing cycle is not enabled in your Grbl settings” (not sure what that means). But when I tried framing an image, it worked. Still haven’t the faintest why it didn’t work before but at least I can complete my job.

Thank you so much for your patience berainlb. Couldn’t have done it without you.

That’s a fantastic outcome. Nicely done.

Do you have homing switches on your machine? I assume not since S9 didn’t come with them by default. If so, disable “Auto-home on startup” in Edit->Device Settings and that will avoid the message.

If you do have homing switches then you can enable homing with $22=1 in Console.

Ok, super! I’ll do that. :muscle:

Again - Thanks!!
