How dou You connect Lightburn to DI via wifi?

[pjdecara (Philip DeCara)]

I managed to connect Lightbox to my wifi Di but cant figure out how to get Lightburn to connect to my D! via wifi

[jkwilborn (Jack Wilborn)]

As far as I know there is only USB for those machines… The wifi bridge is for the Ethernet connection on a dsp controller.

Good luck

IP connections were introduced for GRBL devices a few versions ago. There has been some success in connecting a MKS DCL32 device but I’m not aware of anyone successfully burning with this setup.

If there was any chance of this working with xTool D1 it would need to working in a Telnet server like model.

You can read-up on progress of getting WiFi connected through these Topics:

Have any of you tried using the new IP option for GRBL devices that was introduced in 1.1.00? I believe it’s expecting a telnet like service on the receiving end. Curious as to how this is working but haven’t had a chance to try this myself.

LightBurn WIFI MKS DLC32 how to set up port 8080

hope this helps someone LB recently added GRBL extra connection : ethernet/TCP there is no settings that would allow the port changes. LB has used the default TELNET’s port23 as the start point. in order to change the port for MKS DLC32 to be able to connect via WIFI: we would need to export the preference and modify the default port 23 to 8080 and LB it will be able to connect without issues.

Yes, the DLC32 still is not able to sustain the TX/RX speed to have a smooth burning IF connected wirelessly from LB PC cat cable network=> wifi router
Network => wIFI DLC32

But I am more than okay to save the work from LB and air drop to the DLC32’s micro SD card and command to start the burn from my PC via MKS web UI

Yes it is a small hurdle, but it meet my expectation.

You can set the port in device settings (see screenshot). Lightburn 1.2

The port box is not there in Lightburn 1.2.01 Is there another way of making this work now?

[NorthernStrong (Bob N.)]

from the preference ini file. you can edit the file and save the needed port
