My Ortur LM3 is not connecting

[Leha73 (Lene Hansen)]

I am new to lasers and hope someone can help me. I haven`t used my Ortur LM3 for a few days and now it is not connecting. I use a stationary Intel computer with windows 10 and GRBL. I have downloaded the latest version of Lightburn.
This is what I see

Hello Lene,

I am assuming you are trying to connect via Network/Wifi?
Connect via USB, then in console type
$i
Press enter

Make sure you have the correct IP and not 195.168.5.1

Hello Gil,

Thank you for responding. I tried connecting it with USB and typing $i in the control panel, but nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong?

Also my IP adress is not 195.168.5.1

[gilaraujo (Gil Araújo)]

You might need to setup a profile for the Laser on USB serial mode.
Can you ping the ip of the laser? do you get a response back?

I don`t know how to do either My husband has set it up for me and connected it via Wifi. It has worked fine until today. And of course he is at work ofshore atm. I might have to wait until he gets home. Thank you for trying to help

Download this file to your desktop:
OLM3 USB.lbdev (2.6 KB)

Then click Devices > Import
Desktop > Select file > OK

Click on on Devices window so it closes
On laser pannel select the OLM3 USB device, from the dropdown list.

It worked, thank you so much for your help

So now in console type
$i

press enter - then scroll UPPPP and see if your Ip changed
Is possible that your DHCP server renewed ip and changed it.

The IP is not 195.168.5.1 and I am now able to connect the laser. Thank you
