ARM version of LightBurn?

[sauron (Adrian Siemieniak)]

Hi,

Have you considered compiling ARM binaries of Linux version of LightBurn? I’m not sure how many people would be interested, but right now I’m going to use some kind of Raspberry to control GRBL CNC to make it independent of my PC. Of course I can just stream gcode, but since those small raspberry’s can be quite powerful I could imagining running LB directly on it and connect with VNC/Spice to it.
Just something to consider…

LightBurn provides a site for users to vote for new features. You can search to see if this has been requested, vote it up or add it so others can vote their support as well.

LightBurn wants to know what you want. Do you have an idea for a new feature you want added to LightBurn? You can add and vote for additions to LightBurn by following the link below. (please search voting system first as to not duplicate requests) “Have a feature you’d love to see in LightBurn? Suggest it here. We actually read these things. Please be specific, and include the type of controller you have, if applicable.”

Some of the libraries LightBurn uses are not available for rPi, so this is not something that can be done without substantial work. People have asked about it before. You are welcome to post/ vote on the Fider suggestion site Rick linked.

You can also see my responses in this topic for some other ideas:

GRBL network connection

Hello, is there a piece of software I can run a raspberry py to connect LightBurn to my CNC machine over network? The GRBL device options seem to only support USB/Serial. I found the GRBLWeb project that runs on RPI, and was hoping to connect Lightburn running on my desktop to it over tcp/ip. Is this possible?

I stand by this comment:

I believe most people prefer to just dedicate an old/ cheap computer to their machine and run LightBurn on that.

If this is the case, I guess it may be not worth to invest time. But it really surpising since Raspian is common Debian, and lack of some libraries would mean they are not opensource and distributed binary.
