I currently have a Topwisdom controller. I’d like to swap that out for a Ruida. Can someone tell me what exactly I need to look for. I have a black and red 100 watt Chinese laser.

In that case, anything I tell you you have probably already tried. Does it work properly with your supplied software you got with the laser?

yes, I have Autolaser and it works correctly. I just prefer Lightburn.

So there’s no problem with your controller - its a configuration problem with LB.

Right. So I’m hoping upgrading to Ruida may help solve my problem.
