I am attempting to use Lightburn for the first time with my K40 machine with a Cohesion3d Laserboard installed.
When the application launches it attempts to scan my machine which is plugged into my MacBook Pro via USB and crashes.
I can’t upload the crash log because I’m a new forum user…
I’m unable to move past this first step. Have tried rebooting my computer. Reconnecting USB etc…
Mohave 10.4.5. MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017). Lightburn 0.9.0.4
Close the auto-finder and choose “Set up Manually”. Add a device called Smoothieware (the C3D default) and go from there. The origin is front-left. That should be all that’s needed.
Thanks. Just did that. I doesn’t seem to be able to find my board. I do not see the board in the connection dropdown. Nor can I move the machine on (auto).
Do you have the SD card in the Laserboard? It’s possible you need a driver installed for it, but I’d have to double check that.
According to the Smoothieware docs, you don’t need a driver for the Mac. http://smoothieware.org/usb#drivers
Oh my… I’m feeling dumb. SD card was not in the board. Thanks! Still not sure if that would fix the crash I was having though… But manual setup works now.
I need to get a Mojave system set up. I haven’t been able to reproduce this crash, but I’m on an MBP that’s still running High Sierra. It might be related to the new OS.
Happy you’re up and running.
