I’m having a problem getting Lightburn to connect to my xTool P2. Software is updated, using the USB cable that came with the machine. When I go to “select” Laser it shows both the xTool D1 10W and the P2. But it will not connect to the P2. It connects to the D1 every time, but not the P2. And the D…

[image] LinBaum: connects to the D1 every time, but not the P2 I’m guessing, but I’d assume the controller on the P2 might use a different driver… Since you don’t know and I don’t know the controller I’d assume a driver issue. I’m a Linux person, but I’d look in the device manager to ensure…

Thank you for responding. I did the setup procedure with the info from xTool. am brand new to this and not technical at all. How do I find the controller? Thanks.

Did you check to see if it’s in the device manager of Windows? What controller you have… you have to look inside or ask the vendor… these usually run grbl, but I don’t know as this is a co2. If it has a Ruida, you have to purchase a dsp license or it won’t see it. It sounds like an esp32 based ma…

Thank you for responding so quickly. It doesn’t show in the OS. I’ll go to xtool for the controller info and go from there. I appreciate your help

Not a problem, I looked at the add at xTool, it mentions it’s supported by Lightburn, but not what kind of controller it has… In all likelihood, it’s a grbl… but don’t know… I have a couple of Chinese boards, such as the esp32 and a couple of small dpssl (led) lasers. I have two different interfa…

Try downloading and importing the xTool-P2_v10.lbdev file from the below instructions. You can import it by going to the ‘Devices’ window in LightBurn and selecting ‘Import’. [image] Use LightBurn to Operate xTool P2 This page describes only how to configure LightBurn to support xTool P…

Does this use the esp32/wifi module? Is wifi an expected/supported option for these? :smile_cat:

Sorry, I know nothing about the innards of the machine - I know just enough to get it working with LightBurn. :slight_smile: WIFI is not supported through LightBurn at this time, but might be down the road.

Do you configure it as grbl device? Thanks :smile_cat:

The best way to set it up is to import the .lbdev file provided by xTool, but, yes, it’s a GRBL device type in LightBurn.
