How It Work?

The Bluetooth of NEJE 3 and NEJE 4 series devices uses the BLE communication protocol, and lightburn and laserGRBL do not support it. To connect lightburn to devices via bluetooth, the specific steps are as follows:

  • Connect to NEJE devices through Bluetooth using NEJE software(v6.3.5 or higher)
  • Creat a virtual COM port pair
  • NEJE software connects to virtual COM port pair
  • Lightburn or LaserGRBL software connects to virtual COM port pair
  • Data from lightburn send to NEJE software through virtual COM port pair, then send to device through bluetooth from NEJE software
