Enable RT-link in Lightburn?

[FlashJimmy (James)]

Hi all,

Is there any way to enable RT-link from within LightBurn?
I found a previous post where it says is can be enabled in RDworks, but just wondering if LightBurn had that functionality as well?

Thanks

I think this link will answer the questions you did not ask…

Setting up Ruida 6445 controller from CloudRay. Need help with RT-Link

I am normally very good at being able to wire up electronics. I am finding the lack of information frustrating. The current issue I have is that I recently purchased the 6445 controller and an 80w power supply from CloudRay. Both have RT-Link. I have wired up the connectors according to the diagram provided on their eBay auction. When I power on the controller I don’t see any display change at the bottom of the screen. Has anyone hook up this system before and was successful? If so is there some…

Thanks,

Yeah I came across that thread too, but unfortunately it doesn’t cover enabling RT-Link in the software

I suspect it it because"

RT-Link only provides the laser data for the Ruida controller display.

In other words, it has nothing to do with Lightburn. The controller display is mounted on the laser machine.

Anybody that knows what I am talking about, feel free to correct me.

I see what you are saying, but Lightburn is able to read/write settings to the controller though? There are all those vendor settings you can get at.

I found another thread that said it can be enabled by checking a tickbox in RDworks - I would just do that but I only have a Macbook, so I cant run RDworks.

Perhaps it just doesn’t exist in Lightburn, which is fine, and would explain why I can’t find it haha

Interesting! Might it be because you are running on a MAC and it is not available, because you can’t run RDworks, in that version of Lightburm. I suspect a hook into RDworks is what makes what you want possible.
