Is Mac Big Sur compatible with mini gerbil v3?
Quote from Tony Thatcher on August 19, 2023, 11:08 pmI use an older Mac powerbook in my workshop to drive my k40.
The mac will only upgrade to OS 11.6.8 and my Lightburn is currently 1.3 but I believe would upgrade to 1.4.
This setup has worked well with a mini gerbil v1 but I would like to upgrade to a v3.
Can anyone tell me if the v3 will work with my setup?
Thanks

The only communication between the computer and the Mini Gerbil is via g-code that is generated by Lightburn (or similar). So the operating system of the computer can't affect the Mini Gerbil.
Occasionally there's issues affecting particular versions of Lightburn, but they're quickly patched in subsequent releases.
You can feel confident to order the MG3 and of course we'll be right here to support you.

Dan
