Description: # MeerK40t
        Laser software for the Stock-LIHUIYU laserboard. This is the stock board for most K40 Laser Cutters, M2 Nano, et al.
        
        MeerK40t (pronounced MeerKat) is a built-from-the-ground-up MIT licensed open-source laser cutting software. It's a replacement for LaserDrw, Corel Laser, and K40 Whisperer. 
        
        With the dual driver support it can run aside any of these programs, without breaking anything. It's written in python and has precompiled versions for Windows, Mac OSX, and Raspberry Pi. Available: https://github.com/meerk40t/meerk40t/releases
