Is there a way to use lightburn as a headless controller?
I’d like to setup a console to have a text input section, which would then send text to lightburn which would then burn the text in the required font. So text & font type - start.
Basically so I can run lightburn from another application.
Not necessarily an API but you might want to read and search on the forum for Lightburn UDP
There have been other discussions about modifying the LBRN file programmatically.
Which might be a possible use case for your workflow, combining UDP + LBRN handling
Others might add more ideas to the pot 
Alternatively, combining the concept of Variable Text ( Variable Text in LightBurn) with the aforementioned UDP would likely get you enough flexibility to achieve the stated outcome.
Create a different .lbrn file for each discrete font required along with the variable text object. Then update the CSV file with the required text and send to LightBurn via SendUDP utility.
Wow… Great replies…
Hopefully I can get something running…
