Snapmaker Ray with lightburn

What does it take to use lightburn with Snapmaker Ray 40w laser.

You can set up the Ray as a ‘SnapMaker’ Device type during setup, the rest of the steps should be fairly straightforward. One of our Developers, @adammhaile has a Ray - maybe he has a Device Profile you could import?

@Colin

Unfortunately, this is not true. Previous SnapMaker devices are Marlin based but the Ray is GRBL based. The “SnapMaker” device option in v1.4 and previous assumes this and we don’t fix that distinction until v1.5 (yet to be released).

But fortunately, @Colin is right… I have a device profile for you

Please note: I got this from SnapMaker directly and they told me they would be supplying lbdev files to customers. Mine might be a big old (my unit is pre-production). So I would double check with SnapMaker support.

That worked. Thanks
