Hi community. I have a question about k40 laser ingraved. I purchased one on eBay second hand and I have some software problems. I can instal none of the software. It is possible to use a different software with this? My version I have is a Moshi laser I think it’s a 2017 version. I see it on the mother board. Can someone help me with what I can doo

Your best choice for controlling a Moshi-driven laser is the new beta of Meerk40t from @Tatarize

You’d need to use at latest version of 0.7.0 and keep in mind it requires a switch in Device Manager to run Moshi code. It’s not yet done very easily though it does absolutely work. You need to either add a new device and delete the old one in device manager or launch it with a new profile and device “meerk40t -P 1 -d Moshi” would launch it that way. Otherwise it stays with the default M2 Nano driver. I have a planned rewrite of some of the core device stuff that hasn’t be done but one of the goals is to make using other devices easier.

Note - Mererk40t’s moshiboard support is better than ever now.

Yeah, it pretty significantly improved. I spent a couple days hammering at it prior to the 0.7.1 release.
