Struggling to get lightburn to connect atomstack m4

[Tombridge (Tom Howbridge)]

I’m running 1.701 with the galvo compatibility Windows 10 pro The laser is enjoywood m4 (which is a clone of the atomstack m4) I’ve installed the ezcad2 driver with the lightburn installer although for it to show up i switched it to winusb, using zadig driver utility.

It’s showing up under the USB devices section in device manager. It just doesn’t show up when i click “find my laser” i have tried creating my own preset using the bslfiber option but to no avail.

I can disable the current driver so its then detected under a com port on the pc but that doesn’t help me get it connected in lightburn.

I have also tried multiple versions of lightburn 1.7.00, 1.7,02 etc and still no luck.

Hi Tom

Could you show us how the M4 is detected in Device manager.

I was certain the M4 was a BSL and not a EZCad driven laser.
If i am right, you need the native drivers, not replace them with Zadig

i have uninstalled that drivers, its now displayed under the ‘universal serial devices’ tab and is called ‘sea-laser’ i clicked to see what driver it has and its called ‘libwdi’

[gilaraujo (Gil Araújo)]

Usually they are called “Cypress”, but that should work.

You could now try to add manually > BSL

On your software package from the manufacturer do you have a BSL.cfg file you can use on the importer?

[Tombridge (Tom Howbridge)]

I’ve tried that and it still displays ‘disconnected’ no movement from the laser either even after creating that profile with the cfg file

I have just checked, and its now showing up under (com15) but as i understand bsl lasers dont use com ports? so maybe i need a different driver other than ‘libwdi’
