Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a brand new co2 machine and I've spent countless days and hours trying/stressing about installing the right drivers, the ruida control panel and getting lightburn to FINALLY home to the top left of my machine. Hopefully my laser will now communicate properly and I can start smashing into cutting and engraving products. Cheers mate

Thank you. My laser hasn't arrived yet, but the software gave an virtual machine as an option which is cool.... It will be a 30W Raycus Fiber Laser from Lzrmn in Australia.

I'll bet Oz is glad you are doing these videos so he doesn't have to. And I'm glad you're doing these videos so my learning curve will be cut way down.

I should've come straight to this video and saved me hours of my life🤦🏿‍♂️

[BigHWorks]

Excellent - Thanks for this very detailed tutorial. Saved me a lot of effort I am sure.

Tried installing a 30w fiber laser from a Chinese company called Highspeed laser. I can see the driver in the device manager (lightburn installs a newer version than the one in your video) but my laser is not recognized.

I have totally given up on light burn. I've spent hours trying to get it to install. No luck...

[erickhernandez]

Lightburn isn't recognizing my laser. I have "BJJCZ Device" showing in my device manager as described at 5:27 in the video and no universal serial bus device. I tried to correct this several times by reloading Lightburn to try and get the drivers to load properly, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi there vary excited for your content, i recently got my 30w Monport Fiber laser, after using it for few days with Ezcad/Lightburn the power cut out mid engraving and there is no power from the laser head from that point on, i had many tries to figure it out looks like alot of people have this issue when the red beam traces the image but no emgraveing happens, no burn or laser effect on the material, i contacted the seller and i was told it is an driver issue, i had to uninstall and reinstall with their provided drivers but same thing happened, would gladly appreciate any help thank you

Hallo
Ich habe von einem 30w fiberlaser auf einen 5w uv laser gewechselt.
Jetzt habe ich ein Problem
Mein Powerbutton ist grau und nicht bedienbar?
Alles andere funktioniert

[TheHelicapt]

So I have Ezcad 2 running and working fine on my 60 watt Mopa fiber and when I connected lightburn, I’m just not getting the same buzzing sound, I get more of a hissing sound with lightburn. I just dont feel Lightburn is as poweful as when i use ezcad 2…
I believe all the settings are the same as Ezcad as well…why would this be?

[autonotely]

when I press Find my laser it does not searching anything, just blank page..Can someone help me with this.
Thanks

[trem]

I'm proper confused when it gets to the folder configuring ezcad2. I'm not getting the option in device manager when searching for changes to software

[stanislawreymer]

We installed lightburn but could not see the option 'Install EzCad2 driver (used by galvos)'. So we could not check this box. Why is this? Is this a problem?

[EliteBarbearia-xg]

ali onde diz o driver em 7:31 ele só vai aparecer com a maquina conectada ou esse driver tem que baixar separado e instalada na galvo? Eu sou do Brasil e comprei a Raycus 50w da China e no YouTube não tem muita informação sobre instalar a galvo no lightburn em Portugues do Brasil

[stefandiedericks]

Since Iinstalled LightBurn for my Galvo Laser, the X and Y axis have swapped around. Now I have to change the orientation of my laser and move my extraction system. It's a real pain. is there a way to rotate the orientation of how my laser engraves without having to rotate all my graphics 90 deg?

[heidielliott]

Hi, Thank you for having this channel! I have so many questions.... I've been using lightburn with a co2 laser for 3 years, but am adding a fiber (galvo) to our shop.... does this video help me get to where I will need to be if I already have lightburn installed. ( I have both licenses for both lasers)
