b) when you poer OLM3 FIRST, and then launch lightburn, what devices are populated on the drop down in front of devices on Laser Panel?

When setting up light burn, out laser was detected & I selected it

Look at this dropdown menu, what you see listed?

If listed, select the device callec cu.usbmodemxxxx

Ok… just selected it…

assuming then in your console window you got a lot of text and machine went into home position?

Yes it did……

Fantastic!

I would
Edit _> settings
Make sure your scale is set to mm/min

Click Devices button, doubl click the device, make sure the controller listed is GRBL

And also edit → device settings
Activate Gcode Cluster
Frame and fire button

Also make sure Smax is 1000

I don’t know how to activate GCcode Cluster

You can copy these exactly

Just be sure that if S-value is NOT 1000 you need to reconfigure your profile fully

This all looks good although I do not have Baud

I do not see Baud Rate field

I would sugest you recreate your profile by Hand

Click Devices button
Delete all profiles there
Click then CREATE manually

GRBL

NExt > Serial
NExt > call it OLM3 and 400x400
Next → front left and home
Next and finish

go back to Edit → device settings
