Error message "There was a problem sending data to the laser"

So i recently uploaded the new version of the software. Since this happened I have not been able to use the laser. I will have intermitant use of the laser and then out of the blue it wont do anything. I get this message bellow:

“There was a problem sending data to the laser. The machine may be busy or paused.”

I have tried what i can removed the USB restarted machine, computer, deleted the software and still the same issue.

is anyone else having this issue?




The USB connection on most of these is a short jumper from the case to the controller. I’d plug it directly into the controller… Uses a differnt end.. I think its a standard B Type.


I’ve had this happen, the only way I found to prevent it, is to dump the USB connection and run it through my lan. Been running that way over 5 years… A week or two dealing with USB, I had a major hair loss.


You can plug it into a router or a wifi device such as the Lightburn bridge or something like a TP-Link wifi bridge. The Lightburn bridge has a software layer to help deal with Ruida use of UDP. If you have a Raspberry PI laying around, the software is free from Lightburn

This is how mines mounted.

Hey, Jack… do you have a set of drawings for that stand you’d be willing to share? How high does it bring the unit up to? Looks like we have almost identically-sized machines (mine’s a K40)…

Mine is an OMTech 5030 China Blue 50W, or at least they sold them that way.

Stand is about 30" and the open front is about 16" higher, with the overall height for the laser at just under 24".

I’m 5’9" and the edge to the inside is about at my diaphragm.

Have a leak that appears when the door is open for a long period… I’m going to end up replacing the tubing, I think… It’s got a hose clamp on it, but it has plastic male nipples to push on the hose.

I don’t have a drawing for the metal stand, sorry. Just picked up some steel tubing and built it.
