When installing LightBurn for the first time be sure to select Install FTDI Drivers and the Lightburn "EzCad 2" drivers so they will already be loaded. Once you get your Thunder Laser you can delete the mock device and continue to set up your actual machine.

Info
Note that the Simulator Settings for the mock setup may look a little different than when you connect and upload from your actual machine. Lightburn gives you the ability to modify them to give you more accurate results (estimate vs actual) and Lightburn applies some default scaling when you upload.
