As opposed to which other controller? If you’re looking at something with an M2 Nano (NewlyDraw / CorelLaser / LaserDRW) then yes, it is absolutely worth paying for the upgrade. The Ruida stores the jobs as they are run, so you can re-run without a computer connected, they are very fast and robust, and they allow you to directly control the power output of the laser from software. LightBurn doesn’t directly support the M2 Nano controller.

I understand. But is this controller not supported by LightBurn?
“Software: CorelDRAW
Main board: M2 engraving machine
Panel: Digital panel
Data transfer interface: USB cable”
Now I work with a 15W CNC laser and GRBL controller and LightBurn went very well.
I like the Ruida DSP because “it just works”. Yes, that’s a heavy-handed statement since these have their quirks, but overall the DSP reduces / eliminates the scope of complexity.
Thank you for the answers. So, the best solution is RUIDA and it is really worth the investment.
A link that can help other people to make the best choice. I was convinced from the beginning that RUIDA is the best option.
Our customers love the easy-to-use laser marking software that comes with a MeccoMark laser. Here are the top 5 benefits that you may not know about:
1. Configurable MECCOMark Software GUI Capabilities
Our ability to configure the Graphical User Interfaces to our customers’ needs ensures a simplified process that maximizes efficiency. Written using Microsoft Visual BASIC.NET, an industry standard development environment, our configurable GUIs ensure ease of use to the operator.
For more information, please visit laser controller software.
Whether it is to meet your needs of custom automation, special marking requirements, vision inspection or database integration, we have a library of functions we use to configure a GUI that consists of exactly what our customers’ need. Our GUIs provide an intuitive, efficient process that meets all of your application’s requirements.
2. Flexible graphics and font capabilities
MECCO’s software can import a variety of file types, including DXF, AI, CDR, PLT, BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG. Graphics can be easily moved, scaled, filled, rotated and aligned. Any True Type font that is installed on the PC can be used within the laser marking software. These text objects can be used to create serial numbers, date and time codes and shift or machine IDs which can be marked in a straight line, vertically, radially or even circumferentially. MECCO software fills any font with ease and offers options for fill pattern, angle of fill, fill space and multiple passes for flexibility, mark control.
3. Easy-to-learn interface
With a simple Windows interface that allows the user to see exactly how the mark will look, the operator can set the exact specifications of the mark’s appearance, size and shape. You can easily click-to-drag, re-size, rotate and edit. MECCO’s live “Preview Mark” capability allows you to outline the mark right on your part and make real-time edits without having to enter and exit preview mode. The tool makes job set-up easier and helps avoid mistakes while easily importing AutoCAD drawings and vector images.
MECCO also offers step-by-step Virtual Product Support programming tutorials, training webinars and unlimited lifetime support.
4. Simplified management for multiple laser systems
MECCO configures its system to include the level of automation that is specific for the customer’s application. Because it can run up to four axes of motion, this built-in automation allows the operator to load a part, and, with pre-programmed movements, simply hit the start button and complete the entire job.
Whether the customer is using a Z axis, XY table or even a rotary indexer for circumferential marking, this motion capability, coupled with built-in automation, simplifies the job for the operator.
5. System Security
The software system security allows you to set four different levels of permission – administrator, technician, user and default. The administrator has full access; a technician has access to anything with their level of restriction or below; a user has the lowest level of security permission; and default only works for functions with no security.
