    Hi everyone. I made a DIY laser cutter using arduino and ramps board. I'm using Marlin firmware. I was use the Lihgtburn software for laser control and gcode sender. But now, the trial time is expired. Can I use OpenBuilds software like Lightburn? I want to control my laser on my computer. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks a lot.

    no, CONTROL will not talk to Marlin.
    You will be much better off with a Blackbox, much better drivers, standard GRBL firmware, OpenBuildSCONTROL, our fusion360 post, our Vectric post. many advantages.
