I have an installed Ubuntu operating system 24.04.2 lts and when I run the program it doesn’t see a laser AtomStack X20 Pro. How to add a laser to the program. Lightburn cannot find it all the search methods that are in the program?
You need to make sure that the USB connection is working. You need to add your user to the dialout group etc. Check the guides on Linux connection in the docs.
You might try lsusb from a command line and see if the OS can see your device. Some of these are a bit cranky. Most Linux versions have all the needed driver, but are not installed.
This depends on the control boards connection to the pc. I’ve had Ubuntu for over a decade and have only had to install a module one time, for a very low Chinese laser engraver with a 32 bit board.
And how did you install that module? Can you write in more detail? I would be very grateful.
I checked all the cables - everything is fine. Before that, everything worked for me, but when I updated UBUNTU, now the program does not see the laser. But it sees the USB.
Did you try lsusb?
That should list your usb devices… I doubt you need to find a driver, most of the Linux machines don’t require it… I’ve never seen this with an atomstack…
lsusb find: QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter
That’s when I turned on my AtomStack. And in Lightburn appeared ttyUSB0 next to Devices
Next comes the choice of GRBL or No machine. Then I click on “Devices” and I’m trying to find the device using auto search. But the program says that it did not find any devices. In the previous version of UBUNTU, it found my Laser.
Configure it manually, you know which device it’s connected.
I configured it manually, but it says:
“There was a problem sending data to the laser.
The machine may be busy or paused.”
It should say ready in the laser window. You can also see if it’s changed the name… there is also the issue of being in the correct group (dialout) using Linux.
Did the link cover removing the braille module?
