Look for @Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y ​ post as he has hosted the software Dropbox

find out what is your controller board, and report here.
something like Moshi or M2nano ? do you have a usb stick (dongle) coming with your K40 ?

I am not sure, but i believe that my machine is a moshi one, i have a usb stick but is not recognized by my pc, my usb stick has the next text “Lihuiyu Studio Labs 2015.03.15”

@Doris_jc The USB stick is actually a “key” that allows the software to function. It doesn’t contain anything recognisable by the computer. All it does is that when you use the software you need the “key” (or usb stick) plugged in so that the software is allowed to run the laser.

If your machine has the M2Nano board you will be able to use the software that I have hosted in my dropbox. You can find the details of this on the controller board that you plug the usb cable into, see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzi2h1k_udXwZEpMVUFEd1FuZUk/view?usp=sharing & look to the top left corner it says M2Nano

If yours is the M2Nano, then here is the software to install (with a brief guide on the installation)

While you are looking at the controller board, take note of both the Device ID (as seen in the previous picture) & the Board Model also (see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzi2h1k_udXwQUxUbmh6bDltYzA/view?usp=sharing) as you will need these to enter into the software configuration.

Lihuiyu Studio Labs 2015.03.15 -> M2Nano
go to @Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y link and don’t forgot to plug your usb key in (as it’s proprietary software)

@StephaneBUISSON sorry to Hijack, but how are you all making a copy of your USB sticks?

surely it is wise to clone it somehow, incase it is lost or damaged, otherwise entire machine is useless…

how to clone the USB key to another USB?

8

@Pippins_McGee Never done that myself, but it would be wise. Unfortunately I don’t think it is possible easily as it’s a “hardware” key. There must be some way to do it, but I have no idea. I wonder has anyone pulled one apart to see what is inside it?

don’t be confused by the expression “USB stick”, in that case it’s just a stick, but not a memory storage, just a piece of hardware with a electronic protection built in. it’s made to be not copied easily. I am not saying it’s possible, never done it, nor fancy to do it. My position is to go open source, not to promote those close source.

Hi, I really want to say thanks for help me, now… i still need to learn to use my 40W Chinese Laser Cutter, could you help me with this?

@Doris_jc This community is always happy to help. Do you have any particular things you need to know? If so, ask away & I’ll see what I can do to help (others will also).

@Pippins_McGee It’s not as easy to copy dongles like that. There’s a few comapnies out there who will copy it depending on the model.

A friend of mine for example has got one for some diagnostic-software for construction machinery and noone seems to be able (or wants) to copy that. :frowning:
