I run lightburn with an apple. I just upgraded to an M1 MacBook and paid for the license of lightburn and now it says it’s busy or it sends the job but the head doesn’t move but the controller is timing the job like it’s running through it. Has anyone come across this?

Sorry, new here and thought I had replied in the wrong spot. I am running Lightburn with a usb cable from a Mac using Big Sur OS. It frames sometimes at the origin or sends the job to the laser and countdown begins but the head doesn’t move. It did work on the previous version. I have tried the patc…

Try the one released today, and let me know if it doesn’t work. MacOS / Ruida / USB seems to be a giant game of whack-a-mole. I was able to find and fix two repeatable bugs, verified on Mojave and Big Sur, and another user had no issues with the version that had those bugs, but had issues with the…

It still just frames but has now decided that where it starts the frame is now the origin. I can’t get it to go to home now.

I got it to work with an earlier version. 9.24

I’m getting to the point where I’m honestly considering dropping USB support for MacOS / Ruida altogether - every release breaks for some people, and fixes for others, and there seems to be absolutely no pattern to it at all. It’s incredibly frustrating for us as well as for you.

What would you suggest as an alternative to USB- MacOS/Ruida besides not using a mac? I am having similar issues…

Apple sells an Ethernet adapter for $30 that will let you plug a network cable directly from the Mac to the Ruida, similar to the way you use USB. It’s reliable, has no driver issues, and is about 2x faster. You often have to toggle off WIFI to do it, but the setup is pretty straightforward otherw…

Client/Bridge/Range Extender [20210819_100754] It’s on my local internet. Configured as a ‘bridge’… Much cheaper than a ‘pie’ and it runs pretty much out of the box :slight_smile: Good luck :slight_smile:

The problem with that is that the Ruida uses UDP, which does not guarantee delivery. If a packet is dropped, the Ruida just gives up. Using ‘Send’ to send a job to the controller is pretty reliable this way, because if it fails, you can just retry. If you use ‘Start’ to send the job, it begins ru…

Good point, I had so much issue with USB that it was a blessing to go online with it. My machine is in the opposite end of the house. So many of the nice stuff I’d like to use I really can’t. I become ‘console’ bound trying to drive it out there. Next house will be different :slight_smile: Nice…
