+# Setting up LightBurn on your own laptop
+
+It is possible to use your own laptop for preparing jobs and running the laser cutter.
+To do so, you will need LightBurn installed and licensed and the configuration for the laser cutter installed.
+
+When operating the laser cutter, simply plug the USB cable into your laptop.
+Remember to plug it back into the communal laptop once you are finished (i.e. leave things how you found them).
+
+## Process
+
+It is assumed that you have not previously installed LightBurn on the target laptop.
+If you have then you more than likely do not need this guide, can download the device profile file from step 2 and go on your merry way.
+
+1. Install LightBurn from [here](https://lightburnsoftware.com/).
+1. Download [`device_profile.lbdev`](https://github.com/MakerSpaceNewcastle/Hoshiguma/blob/main/configs/device_profile.lbdev).
+1. Launch LightBurn.
+1. Either activate the trial or purchase your own suitable license and activate that (see note below).
+1. When prompted to add a machine, import the file downloaded in step 2.
+1. You should now have a machine named Hoshiguma available, use this when you want to prepare or machine jobs on this laser.
+
+## License requirement
+
+Hoshiguma uses a Ruida controller, so is therefore a DSP machine in the eyes of LightBurn.
+
+You will need either a DSP or DSP + Galvo license, or purchase the DSP addon.
+If you are purchasing a license with the discount code (see below), you should purchase a DSP license.
+
+## LightBurn discount
+
+We (Maker Space) have a code for discounted Light Burn licenses for members.
+If you would like one, ask the person who did your laser training.
+
+Note that the license is only to be using with the laser cutter in Maker Space.
+Should you need to use other machines you should pay for a full license.
