Hi and welcome to the community @Brian_Owens!

Don’t worry—you’re not alone, this happens a lot when setting up LightBurn! A few things to check:

• Make sure your laser is powered on and connected via USB (or network, if that’s how you’re running it).

• In LightBurn, go to Devices → Find My Laser. If it doesn’t show up, try manually adding it by choosing your controller type (like Ruida, GRBL, or DSP).

• Double-check that your drivers are installed—Windows sometimes needs the FTDI driver for USB connections.

Were you able to connect? On my mac, I can’t get past “waiting to connect”.
