Contents.Common Controllers Lihuiyu LightBurn Software will not work with this controller. The is a drop in replacement for this controller.The is the standard mainboard in many k40’s and some 50-80 watt Chinese engravers.
It provides basic motion and firing control. This controller does not have PWM control and only a few versions of software will work with it.The software that ships with the is LaserDRW.
It is a control software based off of a poorly hacked version of CorelDRAW and is Windows only. It also ships with a USB dongle that must be inserted into the host PC to allow the software to run.The only other software option, which is a major improvement, is in conjunction with. These applications are open source, free to use, and no USB dongle is required. They will also run on Windows, Mac, and Linux.An aftermarket controller, the (see below), is a direct replacement for this board and installs in about 15 minutes without modification. The allows the use of. This combination offers PWM control among many other enhancements.Be sure to check out the!LightBurn Software ( or DSP Version) will work with this controller.The is a direct replacement for the (above) and can be installed in under 20 minutes to provide an immediate performance upgrade as well as the ability to utilize LightBurn Software.It runs Smoothie as shipped but can also run GRBL.
Smoothie is the only firmware which calculates the PWM value based on acceleration every single step, resulting in the cleanest possible cut and even around corners. You can learn more about the. The cost of this controller is in the $200 range.Be sure to check out the!Shenzhen Technology Co.,Ltd ( DSP)LightBurn Software (DSP Version) will work with this controller.The series controllers are popular in many 50 watt and up Chinese engravers.

Lasercutting test partsAs suggested by guru instructor Fiore Basile during italian local review, I'm going to cut a simple model (thinking about a simple square) at different powers and speeds, to see and evaluate different details, especially. So I tried to cut two 4mm plywood (poplar plywood with a waterbased glue) square parts from the same drawing (100mm side length) but with different cutting Power and SpeedThis part was made with 10W Power (out of 40W max Power) and 2.5 mm/s Speed -in this case laser kerf is 0.145 mm =(100-99.71)/2, and the border is darkThis part was made with 40W Power (maximum) and 20.0 mm/s Speed -in this case laser kerf is 0.06 mm =(100-99.88)/2, and the border is much less burned-out. VinylcuttingAbout this week's vinylcutting assignment, I got committed to produce a good output vynil sticker decoration for my through a machine from; this machine comes with software, which is only supported for Windows and MAC systems and it's proprietary software itself; I was not very happy about this, because -as far as I can- I prefer using a and a systemAnyway, after a lot of websearch and different tryouts, I managed to drive the machine from a GNU/Linux system through the great Inkscape python plugin. Getting this plugin working on a GNU/Linux system distribution -supposing software is already installed on the given system- it's easy as installing USB interface for Python modules from a terminal console with super-user privileges $ apt-get install python-usbthen installing the given pre-compiled package $ apt-get install inkscape-silhouette1.19-1all.debAt this point I opened Inkscape and designed a mail stickerthen I went to inkscape-silhouette plugin (Extensions = Export = Send to Silhouette.
); this opens a dialog window from which it's possible to define cut settings, the most important being:. Tool (Pen, Cut). Media Type -hence Pressure and Speedthen I positioned the vynil-sticker-sheet on the cutting matt, manually told the machine to load media and -manually again- moved the Y-axis a little forward; finally sent the command from Inkscape to the machine through USB cable (inkscape-silhouette plugin does not seen to support at the moment Silhouette Cameo 3 wireless Bluetooth capabilities).and this is the final result!
