Looking at a controller update in the future, but have a software question.
How closely are the controllers and software tied?
I have Top Wisdom controller using AutoLaser software. Is it possible to use the RDWorks with the Top Wisdom, or do I have to wait until I install the Ruida Controller?

Hi Dave- I may have misspoke in your other post- if it is topwisdom I guess that Autolaser is not the same as RDworks, sorry. I also checked and Lightburn doesn't seem to work on that controller either. If you do switch to Ruida [which I recommend, I switched from Leetro to Ruida] please consider documenting the switch to help future members. Thanks Gene

LightBurn does work with TopWisdom controllers, but it's still quite beta at this point. We've just fixed the issues with origin modes not working, and will be filling in machine settings and grayscale soon.
