Here are a couple of common GCode controllers - The Cohesion3D LaserBoard is on the left, and the EleksMaker ManaSE controller is on the right:Ĭommon g-code controllers include Cohesion 3D Mini and Cohesion3D Laserboard, Smoothieboard, or any board running GRBL or Marlin firmware. (Please note that LightBurn does not support the M2 Nano controller that comes stock in most K40 lasers) They are also often used as replacements for the stock controller in the common K40 laser.
They are usually a bare board, and often used in open-frame diode lasers like the Ortur, XTool D1, AtomStack, TwoTrees, NEJE Master, EleksMaker and FoxAlien, as well as XCarve, Shapeoko, or 3018 CNC machines.
G-Code controllers:Ĭommonly used in 3D printers, home-built CNC machines and kit-style or DIY lasers, g-code controllers use a text based command format called g-code, and are often open source hardware and firmware, like GRBL, Smoothieware, or Marlin. Note that both types are supported by the trial version of LightBurn, and the DSP version. LightBurn is a bit more flexible, and has two versions of the software for different kinds of laser controllers. Most laser software is tied to very specific types of machines.
