I have taken a trail of LightBurn to use with a Needham Desktop Pro Laser. As I understand this laser will likely use a Galvo Driver. When installing LightBurn I selected the Galvo drivers. I am not in the new device setup wizard and it is asking me to navigate to EZCad Application directory!?
I am an OSX user. But this laser is tied to a PC with N-Lase installed currently. Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to navigate to an application directory and setup this laser with LightBurn.
Yes, Lightburn does work with fiber lasers, but as stated on their website:-
LightBurn currently supports EZCad2 and EZCad2-lite based Galvo lasers (fiber, CO2, or UV) connected with a USB cable. The software works on Windows and MacOS.
I cannot find if your laser is compatible from the Needham site.
I have reached out to Needham, requesting more about the motion control system used with these devices to check compatibility. I did not find much reviewing their site for these details. Will update here once I hear back.
Thank you @Mooseuk & @Rick!
This morning when I have come to start the laser and use N-Lase which the laser was setup with and using prior to me installing LightBurn, it no longer connects with the laser. N-Lase is saying no device connected!!
I did not setup this system and I have no idea now how to reconnect the laser. No devices have been physically removed and disconnected at any point, so it must be a plugin issue. Does anyone have any guidance on how I might get the N-Lase software to reconnect to the laser asap - the laser is used in our business daily.
I have spoken to Needham customer support on the phone this morning. They have re-established the drivers and N-Lase is back online. LightBurn is not setup and they recommended to use N-Lase with the Desktop Pro. However, they did manage to open the png files in LightBurn that would not open N-Lase with all visual data in tact and then export from LightBurn into N-Lase, so I don’t have a perfect solution. Support is ongoing.
