Laser software

[D.Rourke]

Hi all,

I’ve recently installed a Opt laser on my workbee cnc running a Duet2 board.

The laser is up and running, I have tried it with vectric vcarves new laser module on trial mode but was wondering what software would be compatible at a lower cost. I’m just a hobbyist so Vectrics stuff is costly for hobby work.

I was looking at lightburn but it doesn’t look like it supports the duet at the moment. Is anybody aware of a work around for it?

@D-Rourke Lightburn should work, but may depend on the firmware version you're using (send M115 and post response); see https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/16237/laser-works-but-not-from-lightburn

Otherwise, LaserWeb might be an option: https://github.com/LaserWeb/LaserWeb4
