Making the config.txt file work..............

I'm trying to cut using Visicut and config.txt file for HPC laser LS–2030, with NO display board.
I get a message telling me to push the 'start'.

Can someone please tell me how to modify the config.txt file or where I can download the correct config.txt file for using my generic laser without the display board. I would assume it s should start cutting as soon as as the .svg file is dumped to MBED

Zo you've set sys.nodisplay tot 1 in The config file?
The mesaage zou zee in Visiacut doesn't really dat anything I don't think VisiCut knows whether you enabled no display.

Thanks Peter, it still don't work. What does the four LEDs across the bottom of the MBED do? Mine never blinks at all, guess I'll have to do some more troubleshooting.

Do you have a display? If so, what does it say?
Looking through the main_nodisplay it tries to display stuff.

If not I'm afraid you'll need to add some printf's, compile the code and check with a serial monitor what's going on.
How to compile: https://github.com/LaosLaser/Firmware/blob/master/README.md
You can find a serial monitor in the Arduino IDE for example.

I guess I should've clarified in my initial post that the message I was referring to was on the PC monitor screen. I do not have a Laos display :-(
I still would like to know if they LEDs on the MPEG are supposed to blink when Visicut is transmitting the . svg file. Mine don't even flicker.
Have not had time to do any further troubleshooting.
