Download Driver For Neje Dk-8 Engraver For Mac Os
The Neje Laser Engraver DK-8-PRO is an awesome small laser engraver from China. Unfortunately, the supplied app is Windows only. There is an OSX App called DBeam available however some functions don't work with my DK-8 (movement keys), and I wanted a little more flexability over the image importing.
So, with a combination of the supported Hex commands (found from https://github.com/AxelTB/nejePrint - commands.txt), and listening to the serial port I wrote my own.
