    50W Chinese Laser Doesn't Communicate :(

    Edit: Fixed it!
    but it only works with an annoying software called LaserDRW.
    I tried with the nice software called RDWorks V8 and it doesn't communicate...
    Why is that?

    hi
    its because your controller is not compatible with RD works
    now I have not tried it but there is a free software out there called K40 Whisperer which works with most of your type of controller

    Lightburn is awesome, but I don't think it supports LaserDRW-compatible controllers yet.

    Is it possible that there is only one software for my laser cutter? (LaserDRW)

    I didn't understand the K40 Whisperer, it seems like a software that is only for communicating with the laser machine and not for designing anything, so it makes every cut a two step process
