Been using LightBurn with the Outur for years on an old MacBook Pro. Just bought a new MacBook Pro, downloaded the latest LightBurn Pro but when I click “find" the screen blinks for .01 seconds. The blink is a scree that says “Scanning for connected devices”…10%.
FYI, I downloaded version 2.1.02. The MacBook Pro has the Apple M5 processor with 16 GB memory. The old MacBook Pro was an early 2013 Intel model.
Many have found connection problems with Mac and their laser to be an issue with how MacOS translates, or rather doesn’t translate the onboard USB 3+ to the USB 2.0 of the laser. The most common solution seems to be using a “dumb: USB 2.0 hub connected though a Lightning adapter. Faulty, cheap USB cables are another source of problem for Mac and PC users alike. Get a high quality USB cable, with the ferrite core on the ends and a USB 2.0 hub and see if that solves your issue. This video will help diagnose if your Mac sees the device and offers a couple suggestions if it doesn’t.
