If you have one, click the appropriate button, if not, click Other. If you have a GCode controller, you will be asked if your computer is an X-Carve or Shapeoko, as some specific settings need to be configured for these computers. Is your laser a GCode or DSP device? What if you can't find it? When the laser is ready, click Next.Īfter a brief scan, the software will list the devices it is able to recognize:
Make sure your laser is powered on, connected to the computer via a USB cable, and has completed any boot sequence it needs (such as homing). If that doesn't work, either your laser is ethernet connected, or you have a Marlin device, you need to use "Manual Create". The easiest way is to click Find My Laser and let the software try to figure out what you have. You will see a list of all laser devices in "Device" page of the software that have been added to the software, or an empty list on first launch. If you don't select either, we have nowhere to put these settings, and many features in the software won't work until they're set. The software can also be configured to control multiple lasers, and settings are stored for each device. If you have done this before but want to change the laser or add a new laser, click the Devices button in the Laser Window to display the list of devices. It's important to choose something because the interface in the software changes depending on the capabilities of the laser you choose.
If you configure your device from no software, it will automatically bring you here when you run the software. The software cannot control every laser, but can communicate with many different types of laser controllers, all of which use different communication methods and have different functions and settings.
