Golly, just getting back to this tutorial. My brother restored a burned up Laser for me and my sister and it is the garage, ready to go. We intend to run projects from the controller. I took notes while watching your tutorial and will type them up tonight. I am the older sister and my other sister my sidekick. We work together. I need to get a galvanized pail for emergency. So far we have managed not to burn up any lasers.

Hi Robert, depending on your needs you can also adjust the layer settings faster. load the file you need, and press enter. The layer speed/power is available to adjust. It saves you from having to start/pause the file and then scroll through the menu to get to the settings.

Hello Robert! Those layer settings, the one where you paused the machine to change to 350 speed and then to 325 speed, do you have a video about how to change the layer settings in lightburn? Every time I run it the settings go to 4mm/s and I pause the job right away-change the speed-then start again but it still burns the crap out of my slate for a second or 2 before the desired speed kicks in...
@computercreationz2 жыл бұрын
I do see a slight lag sometimes when doing this, the only way to change in lightburn is to open layer and change the speed or power setting and re send the job to the contoller. if you change the setting in lightburn it doesn’t take effect until the project is resent back to the laser.thank for watching

using user origin will start and finish your laser in the same position. you have to set the origin on the control panel by pushing the origin button. I have a video that describes each start from function.

@@computercreationz After some time of getting experience with a diode laser and LightBurn, I am considering getting a CO2 laser now. However, compared to diode laser, CO2 machines have different controllers and from what I understand, they are not controlled directly by LightBurn. I was interested in seeing how the software (LightBurn) works with Ruida-controlled lasers (you have covered much of that here, without showing the PC screen). Also, there are other controllers, e.g., Trocen (AWC708S). Would these perform similar to Ruida, or is Ruida the way to go for those wanting to work with LightBurn? Thanks!
