Show HN: I vibe-coded a working macOS driver for an obsolete laser engraver (github.com)

6 points by earsayapp ↗ HN
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 :)
