Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to connect my Xtool D1 10W laser to the Openbuilds program but am having trouble connecting to it via USB. I would like to be able to move my CNC carved projects from my router to my laser to do detail work. Thank you in advance!! Mike
CONTROL works with any Grbl 1.1 based controller. If your machine is not a Grbl based control, you can upgrade the machine with a replacement controller like a BlackBox (See https://docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox for more)
I will see if it is GRBL 1.1 based, I am using Lightburn g-code to control it right now, thought it would be more convenient to use the same software that I use on my cnc on my laser also. Thank you! Mike
If you can't get the stock electronics to work, consider upgrading to a BlackBox see https://docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox to learn more about it
