Start button not doing anything

Very new to engraving. I am on the trial license (on a Mac). Was able to do some test engraving, then had to stop for a week.

Now that I am back, I can command the engraver to do the Frame action so I know connection is working. But the Start button does not start the engraving, and there are no messages in the console.

Any hints on how to debug this?

Please post a screenshot (not a cell phone pic) of your entire Lightburn screen with your project loaded and the Cuts/Layers Panel and Laser Panel visible. Also post a screenshot of the Console Window.

As Tim mentioned, a screenshot would be very helpful! Or a copy of your .lbrn2 file, so we can see what your workspace looks like.

Did you import the manufacturer’s .lbdev file when you created the device profile?

You would have imported it into LightBurn from from the devices menu:
