Assuming it’s a Ruida controller, delete all the files stored in its flash memory.

If it’s connected with a USB cable, that’s always good for random communication errors. One way to diagnose this is to Send the file to the controller’s flash memory, then run it from the controller without involving LightBurn. Lay down some cardboard, run the same job until it either misbehaves or you’re convinced it won’t.

USB cables are always the last thing:

WOO HOO !!! I got everything working right , FINELY !!! What was the problem? It turns out to be the USB to Controller board cable was faulty. That was the only thing I failed to check and that was it. I have a bad habit of buying one to use and one to loose. When I thought about the cable being bad, I got the cable out the spare controller kit and that one worked. I feel really stupid sitting here thinking how I spent 4 to 6 weeks crying and trying to fix this thing and never though…

Using the Ethernet connection eliminates communication problems, with the caveat that you must ensure the router on the LAN cannot assign the controller’s fixed USB address to another device using DHCP. This long discussion gives some background:

Hello fellow laser wizards

HELLO, I have a tech problem. My Omtech AF2028 stopped communicating via ethernet. I replaced the cable and still having message, Data not transferred, controller busy or paused. checked IP Adress and replace cable USB connection works fine my modem and hub is fine suggestions are seriously appreciated Bob
