Extension Cable ( ORTUR Laser Master 2 S2 LF )

LightBurn Software Questions
,
1

I’ve just recently started using LIGHTBURN. I bought it two years ago but honestly been worried it was to advanced for an older person like myself to learn so it wasn’t doing anything but taking up space on the hard drive.

A couple weeks ago I did my first tests and I was " OK " with the turnout. However now as I’ve starting to actually understand it a bit more I’m able to use the ENTIRE SPACE of the ORTUR LM 2 !

BUT I’m having issues in two ways and not 100% for sure of a work around other than to ask here.

The side cable keeps hitting the stop switch so I wanted to put a drag chain down. The issue here is the cables are not long enough. So is there a specific cable that people have purchased that takes care of that issue. ( I’ve seen the etsy cables with hot glue , and that IS NOT gonna happen. )

Now for the second issue that I’m curious about with the LIGHTBURN software.

If I add an extension cable , and press the FIRE button for the laser , could that damage the program ? Are there any KNOWN outcomes other than the laser fires or it doesn’t ?

Thank You for Your Time ,

( finding the proper extension cables are my primary goal )

The proper solution is to route the cables in a different path. You may have to experiment here.

The Fire button sends a command to the laser. The laser sends back “Ok”. You will not hurt your program or Lightburn. However, YOU can hurt your program with changes you make. Just remember CTRL-Z is your friend.

Thank You for your response. I know this is going to sound a bit different and all , but I know this is an older Laser model , I’,m curious if any others have done this without having to cut the wires and re-wire them ?

As for the fire button not hurting the program , that is GREAT !

Thank You again ,

Dan
