RKQ-LM-441 board on new UV won't connect to pc

The machine I have does have an automated Z axis for doing inner carving. Yes, all the engraving I have done has been single pass and is amazing in quality. I can single pass cut 3mm+ plywood with basically zero kerf, having had several large Co2 machines the zero kerf with basically zero burning and zero kerf is amazing.

I am curious though, you said 1.5.8 has the point cloud preview (I have seen that on several videos) but it seems the newest version of the software is 1.5.7.6. I assumed the point cloud preview was on a previous version which I would actually like to try but I have never found a copy of what ever version it is that had that feature.

I cant reach new software you mentioned. Website is not reachable. I am thinking to get a 10W machine to get more clear crystal engravings. 5W is okay but you need to give more power and I think I cant utilize the full features of the software. I am trying a lot of things to get more clear 3d engravings but it is either cloudy or faint.

Hi Jeremy,

I read your discussion about the RKQ-LM-441 UV laser and how changing RK-CAD versions helped you get it working.

I have a new Mr Carve M7 Pro 5W UV laser supplied with RAYZZ_260105. The software connects to RKQ_MACHINE01 via USB networking, but the software Z-axis controls donā€™t work, Equipment Information crashes, and I havenā€™t managed to complete a single engraving.

I understand that your machine uses RK-CAD rather than RAYZZ, and I havenā€™t identified my controller model yet.

Could you tell me which software version finally worked for you, where you obtained it, and whether you know anything about RAYZZ compatibility?

Many thanks for your help!

Hello Pedro and welcome to the forum.
Did you try the latest RC?

Hi Jeremy,

Iā€™m trying to get a Mr Carve M7 Pro 5W UV laser working with RK-CAD.

The original RAYZZ software connects to the machine, but RK-CAD 1.5.8.9 reports that it cannot detect the marking card and enters demo mode.

I read your experience with the RKQ-LM-441 controller and saw that the Cloudray RK-CAD 1.5.6.8 distribution solved a similar detection problem.

Would you still have that portable version, or a working download link you could share?

Iā€™d also appreciate any advice about controller compatibility. I havenā€™t confirmed whether the M7 Pro uses the same board.

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Simon,

Thank you very much for sharing the official RK-CAD 1.6.0.1 download link. I really appreciate your help.

Iā€™ve downloaded the package and will test whether this version can detect the controller of my Mr Carve M7 Pro.

Iā€™ll report back with the results.

Best regards,
Pedro
