1. Make sure the computer can see the controller. Run in a terminal:

lsusb

2. Validate that a terminal device was created for the controller. Run in terminal:

ls /dev/*USB*

3. Confirm that you setup user/group permissions for serial communication. Did you run these lines from the Installation instructions?

sudo adduser $USER dialout && sudo adduser $USER tty

If you can answer in the positive for all 3 then you should have everything you need to connect. Right click-on “Devices” button in Laser window to force reconnect or pull-down the Ports field and manually select the relevant serial device.

Thank you for responding.
Item 1 ok

@flynet

Item 1 ok

What was the output?

@flynet

trevor@trevor-System-Product-Name:~$ ls /dev/USB

ls: cannot access ‘/dev/USB’: No such file or directory

This means you have no terminal device created.

Can you run this in a terminal?

dmesg | grep -i smoothie

Can you confirm if you competed the 3rd condition?

[flynet (Trevor Boundy)]

Terminal not my preferred option.
Am a bit confused. here is summery from the terminal that i just ran…

Can you run this in a terminal?

ls /dev/smoothie*

Also, can you take a full screenshot of LightBurn?

[berainlb (PY)]

@flynet

sudo adduser $trevor dialout && sudo adduser $trevor tty

Also, did you change this command? $USER should have evaluated to trevor. You wouldn’t want $trevor.

[flynet (Trevor Boundy)]

User re run
trevor@trevor-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo adduser trevor dialout && sudo adduser trevor tty
[sudo] password for trevor:
The user trevor' is already a member of dialout’.
The user trevor' is already a member of tty’.

trevor@trevor-System-Product-Name:~$ ls /dev/smoothie*
ls: cannot access ‘/dev/smoothie*’: No such file or directory

[berainlb (PY)]

Delete all but one of those devices.

Then can you push the pulldown button between “Devices” and the device profile “Smoothiware” in Laser window? Take a screenshot.

I’m concerned that your serial device cannot be detected but I’m not super familiar with how that might be setup with your particular board.

Can you try running this in a terminal session?

ls /dev/*smooth*

If that returns nothing just run this and return all results:

ls /dev

Success berainlb, i can go to Home and Origin, just have to get used to switching from Whisperer to Lightburn, thank you for your patience and help…Trevor

[berainlb (PY)]

That’s great. What ended resolving the issue?

[flynet (Trevor Boundy)]

To tell the truth don’t exactly know, just went out to workshop with the intent of doing battle with the setup again, loaded Lightburn and to my surprise i heard the X and Y axis fire up and moved to Home.
For your interest a couple of pics, had a hard landing rebuilding part of fus…

[flynet (Trevor Boundy)]

I think it was putting $trevor instead of trevor.
Thanks for your help berainlb in resolving this issue. Trevor
