Show HN: I vibe-coded a working macOS driver for an obsolete laser engraver
earsayapp Sunday, December 21, 2025
The Epilog Zing lasers were 50w desktop industrial lasers from circa 2010. They never had support outside of windows.
This was based off of LibLaserCut which is a Java project that reverse engineered these machine's protocols. This is a CUPS driver implemented in Swift and C.
Maybe this is a small example of AI doing something positive, like breathing new life into old machines :)
Summary
The EpilogDriver is an open-source software project that allows users to control Epilog laser engravers and cutters from their computer. It provides a user-friendly interface and supports various file formats, enabling efficient and customizable laser operations.
