| Software notes | Compatible with LightBurn, LaserGRBL, and any software that outputs G-code to a GRBL controller. The board uses open GRBL firmware, allowing for customizable engraving parameters without locking you into proprietary software. LightBurn requires a separate license (about €99). | The operational management of the engraver is guaranteed by full compatibility with the most popular software in the industry, making workflow integration highly flexible. Users can utilize LightBurn, an advanced commercial program that has become the gold standard for those requiring complex editing tools and granular control over cutting parameters. Alternatively, the motherboard natively supports LaserGRBL, a free and open-source software solution, particularly suitable for beginners due to its intuitive interface. The connection between the computer and the machine occurs physically via a standard USB cable, ensuring stable and low-latency data transfer, without any need for an internet connection or reliance on cloud-based platforms. |
