meerk40t VS Red-DiscordBot

Download it from Github

Hi guys, you don't actually need to get a new motherboard to use lightburn on a k40. Check out meerk40t, an awesome free k40 whisperer replacement which is 100 times better. This in itself is a great achievment by the programmer David Olsen, but what makes it amazing is that you can run the software as a kind of Ruida emulator and it will turn your k40 into a ruida machine and then lightburn can connect to it. I have been using it recently with great success. Full disclosure, you do have to update your licence of lightburn for the ruida version which costs 50bucks, if you only have the cheaper grbl version. Once you have set up the k40 in meerk40t and got it working load the console and type 'Ruida control' and it sets it up for you. Then in lightburn you create a manual machine, choose ruida, set the ip address to 127.0.0.1 your local machine then set the dimensions of the bed on your k40 220x320mm. Baddaboom baddabing, test it with your move controls and it should work fine. The github of the project is https://github.com/meerk40t/meerk40t. It is worth a go for free just to see if it can work for you, and you can use the demo version of lightburn which has the ruida controller drivers in it. If you dont like it you can still try tp get hold of the drop in replacement board.

I vouch for https://github.com/meerk40t/meerk40t A more modern alternative to Whisperer and actively maintained - used on MacOS without issues.

My discord username is crayyy_zee and I've been a discord user since 2019. I used to make discord servers for discord nitro in like 2020 until one day I got too tired of having to do everything manually and decided to make a bot that would ease the process. Learnt python in a week and got to development right after. Since then I've made countless standalone bots and addons for the Red-DiscordBot project. Some of these are open source on my GitHub. I do both per-hour and effort based projects. I am also one of the owners of Melon which is currently in 950 guilds and growing. If any of you wants a discord bot developed you can definitely contact me and we could work up some deal that is affordable to you and comfortable for me.

What about red?

Red is probably the only real long-term option. If you rely on a public bot, that public bot will eventually get kicked off YouTube. Self-hosting a bot means you're simply going to be too obscure for YouTube to care, and if they eventually go after self-hosted bots then at that point that's going to be a news item that's going to cause a lot of anger and pretty much nothing else at all will be working with youtube anymore.

I've been using Red Bot for music, and a few other things, but you have enough functionality to create many complex rules.

If you are hosting Red Discord Bot. You can install it with instructions below, where [p] = bot's prefix. Some other instructions can be found here

1) why are you late loading fetch? Won't that just hide issues until someone uses the command? https://github.com/EliusHHimel/Slash/blob/main/commands/movie.js#L9 2) re looking for help, why would someone want to contribute to your bot vs something else (ex maybe https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot which has a lot of community and stuff)

If anyone else is here looking for self-hosted docker compatible Discord bots, check out RedBot.
