Hello friends. Sorry for the Google translation if it is not correct. Since I have purchased my new MacBook air M3. I have had problems with the USB connection. I am not able to connect my device, it only connects if I use an adapter. With a direct USB type C to USB type C cable, I cannot get it to connect. LightBurn does not recognize the device, can you help me? Thank you.
I am using the Creality Falcon laser module. and I have tried with several cables. The cables that at first do not work, then I connect them with an adapter and they do work. I do not understand anything.
The USB C connectivity of some lasers isn’t built to industry standards, which can cause connection issues when trying to connect directly with a USB C to USB C cable.
It requires a USB A to USB C cable. Since you don’t have a USB A port on your computer, you need to use a USB A to C adapter/dongle or a USB hub to connect a USB A cable to the computer.
The adaptor look’s something like this:
You can then use a USB A to USB C cable like this one to connect your laser:
This might seem silly, but it’s needed.

That’s exactly what’s happening to me. After spending $30 on a good USB-C to USB-C cable, it turns out that it’s not the cables’ fault. Using a dongle is the only way it worked.
Thanks a lot for your information.
