Good evening, I am new to the forum, but have used LightBurn in the past on a MacBook Pro adn an Ortur Diode Laser. Here is my experience so far trying to get my MOPA Fiber Laser set up.
I am using an IMAC 24” M1 Chip 2021 with 16 Gig of memory. the op system running currently is Tahoe 26.3 with 2 TB of space available.
Lightburn Pro for Mac version 2.0.05 installed
Monport 60W Pro Integrated MOPA Fiber Laser Engraver, 6.9"x6.9” Working Area, LightBurn Compatible 3D Relief Engraving Color Marking Machine with One-Touch Autofocus, JPT Laser Source
I plugged the laser into my Mac via the USB cable through a Lightning port using a USB to Lightning adapter. I pulled up Lightburn, went to devices, find my device, and it appeared to be working. A box appeared showing 14% progress on searching for devices, but nothing. Lightburn was not responding, so I force-quit the program, tried several times again with the same results.
I tried manually installing the device, which I was able to get installed using the following parameters:
BSL|Fiber/Galvo
I installed the config file from the disc Monport provided, which set all parameters.
I loaded a file into Lightburn, but noticed the framing was not operating in any capacity. I have managed to get the laser to fire, and I can create files in Lightburn, but without the framing, even when I set my file size to my brass coin size, it is just not performing as expected.
Any help is much appreciated.
