Light Lane Documentation
The Light Lane docs cover first-time setup, controller connections, material calibration, troubleshooting, and licensing. Written for quick answers when you are in the middle of a job.
- First-time setup: download, install, connect your laser, and run your first engrave.
- Controller connections: GRBL, Marlin, Smoothieware, and Ruida setup with port selection and auto-detect.
- Material calibration: using the test grid to find the right speed and power, then saving those settings as presets.
