Rick–
Thank you for the confirmation that the issues I was having with the laser burning while traversing from one area to another was likely related to failing hardware. We’d already changed out the power supply, so we knew that should be good. I ordered a replacement Ruida controller, swapped it in (using the exact same connection blocks), made configuration changes in the controller, and the issue was fixed. It was an issue with failed hardware in the Ruida controller.
Thank you for the guidance. I appreciate it !!
