best regards from france
What firmware are you using to drive this laser?
Sculpfun has recently reached out to us, and I believe they have already tested their machine and found it works well with LightBurn. You might need to create a device manually in LightBurn as GRBL - if their connection / startup string is not one we recognize it might not be auto-identified.

I think you’ve already solved it, but since I’m keeping an eye on the sculpfun s6 Pro, I’d be interested to know
maybe you solved it by first installing LaserGrBl and then using lightburn (again after selecting the right com port)? ---- if so, does the engraver look good to you?
hello thanks for your email. the pb has been solved when i reboot the pc
by the way, how can we see, before burning, where will burn the laser? it’s possible to see the area used by the laser (the laser is moving) but i do not see the laser point in low power when the laser show the area necessary for the burning. is ther a way to add a laser low power point in this function?
Hi Sam: I don’t see a reply to this so will give you what I do. 1. Make sure you enable your laser fire button in the device settings window. in your “WINDOW” options, make sure “Move” is checked. When you are in the “Move” section make sure the power level is set next to your “Fire” button. Mine is set to 0.05%. Toggle the fire button on and off by clicking on it. Finally, size your project to where you think it’s going to burn. Once you do that, hold down the SHIFT key and click on the square or round “FRAME” button in your “Cuts/Layers” window. The laser will not burn your project but will show your engrave area. Hope this helps!
thanks june, i will try
