One of my posts in Beta Section, August 2023:
We do plan to provide an API through Python in the future, but that will take time.
LightBurn currently provides a limited command line interface through UDP commands to do things like launch the program and launch the program + load a file + run the file. ‘SendUDP’ is a helper utility that is currently for Windows only, however the LightBurn “listener socket” should be available on all platforms. SendUDP just sends a UDP command to localhost, port 19840 (and gets replies on port 19841).
Functions available at present:
“LOADFILE:[file path]”
“FORCELOAD:[file path]”
“CLOSE”
“FORCECLOSE”
“START”
“STATUS”
“PING”
