Hello Guys.
I need help to get a driver.
It’s 40w co2 laser and I think it’s a K40 from China. I got it from granpa, and I think it’s been over 15 years.
As it is an old equipment, I have a PC with Windows 732-bit installed, can I get a compatible driver?
I think the drivers say Philips LPC214X, but I can’t find a compatible driver.
Please help me!
I don’t see much information on that board online. You could try Meerk40t to see if it recognizes it, I guess?
That’s just the microcontroller on the board.
Thanks! I’ll try.
The original SW I used is newlydraw 1.5 with dongle.
It’s hard to find the driver.
I searched for “SZDY v8” and found some people wanting to move away from it. 
I do see this one:
u/inu-no-policemen there suggests it might be a moshi, in which case Lasers > Meerk40t should be able to work.
If it doesn’t, yours doesn’t use flex flat cable, which gives you plenty of flexibility if you want to move to a newer controller.
Unfortunately, the Meerk40t related driver doesn’t work.
I think lpc214x.sys and lpc214x.inf needed, can I know if you have it?
I’m thinking your grandpa had made some modifications to that because 15 years ago they didn’t come with drag chains nor air assist and it looks like the working area has been expanded to around 12" x 9" by removing the stock bed and trimming the exhaust vent.
Update: I stand corrected, the 32bit ARM NewlyDraw 1.5 controller preceded the M2Nano.
Also, they came with M2Nano controller boards and that one with the LPC214X is way more powerful. Have you connected up a USB cable and opened a terminal window to see what firmware it reports? Usually the firmware will report it’s version info on power up but you’ll need a terminal window open, set to the port and with the correct port speed( 9600 or 115200 ).
Linux will likely just connect but for other OS’s, have you look at philips? Software & Drivers | Philips
Thanks for reply!
Even if I want to see the fw info, I can’t.
since I don’t have a USB driver.
I think I need lpc214x.sys and lpc214x.inf.
Another option is to make a bootable USB thumbdrive of something like Lubuntu ( Linux ), boot from the USB thumbdrive in Live mode, connect to your WiFi network and install gtkterm.
But ya, if Windows can’t connect to it and that’s all you’ve got then you’re stuck without those drivers. history: Linux LiveCDs became popular 20+ years ago just for fixing Windows with the Knoppix distribution. Many used it to fix corrupted MS-Word documents using OpenOffice on Knoppix.
