Camera and LB bridge?

[MagpieBlue (Keith Kost)]

Hello

I’m looking into a Raspberry Pi like the Lightburn Bridge,

As I have just got a new laser that I would like to add a Camera to, so I may better my positioning for future projects.

I’m running this on a Macbook Air, wireless and working as advertised, only limited by my abilities, 2 weeks in.

The Questions I have is

A. The camera you sell is linked with a USB cable, can that Cable be connected directly to the R-Pi/LB-Bridge and still be Wireless, and see the camera in LightBurn?

B. If the camera is directly connected via ribbon cable (exhibit A: see image ) to the R-Pi/LB-Bridge can it still be seen in LightBurn, via wireless, and see the camera like normal

C. One of the posts I read spoke of how normal ‘Web cam’ Camera is not like the one you sell because of the data transfer process… (blurry image of Black BOX) could you explain what that was about?

This functionality is not currently supported although there have been discussions about that being a potential future feature.

Irrelevant based on above.

Unclear what you’re referring to here. Link the post and might be able to determine more from it.

Thanks for your help
Not Supported at this time is an answer, But that being a potential future feature is Hopefull.

Technically couldn’t similar functionality be achieved by installing Lightburn directly on the PI and remoting into it?

That is an interesting question, I do not know R-PI enough to be able to even think I could be able to do it that way. Also, it would cost another purchase of the software outside of my existing computer running software.
