  Both have a Ruida controller, a dsp commercial type, which allows either RDWorks (Windows only) or Lightburn (Windows, Mac and Linux). Well worth it and they have a free trial with a fully functional version of Lightburn. Lightburn support grbl, co2 gantry and fiber/co3 galvo machines. I have one laser control software and have grbl, co2 and a galvo fiber... All use the same software... Pretty fantastic...... Source: about 1 year ago

• Companies to avoid.

  For the OP's benefit: Lightburn is an alternative software available on the Mac that is much more polished and reliable than the usual free Windows Ez-Cad software bundled with many lasers, so Lightburn compatibility is a great sign. I personally wouldn't consider an engraver without this any more (except of course professional models like Epilogs that have their own software). Source: about 1 year ago

• Getting ready to kick out a bunch of slate coasters for the distillery I work for. Feeling pretty proud of some quick upgrades. Figured I'd see what you lot thought.

  I've run Lightburn for a while and it's heads and tails above what's sent with the machines these days. Might try the free trial. I think heir forum is better than this site... Better and accurate technical information... Source: about 1 year ago

• Researching how to make pieces like this!

  The Ortur comes with GRBL software, but I (and I think most other consumer users) immediately add LightBurn to our setups. LightBurn is relatively easy to use and has a strong catalog of YouTube videos and an online forum for troubleshooting. Source: almost 2 years ago

• CNC laser sandwich maker. Need a controller or ??? Novice with scraps trying to make lunch.

  It looks like you have a Arduino NANO running this, I would guess then it is likely GRBL for the Arduino. You may need install CH350 driver to get it to connect, then you can use CNCJs to connect and test movement, I like it as it has a nice clean interface and options for lasers. You could also try the included software as well. I do recommend lightburn as it makes it really easy to use. That one isnt free like... Source: about 2 years ago
