Lightburn file sends to laser, laser moves but does not fire

The laser does work in smart carve software.

What does the control system look like? My digging returns inconclusive answers, yet these are worth review:

Camfive Laser and Lightburn Software

The CamFive machines do not use RDWorks. They use a Ruida controller, but it’s got different firmware in it from Yueming Laser. They use SmartCarve by default. I’ve got a 4032K that’s working great with LightBurn. However, I’ve never run it via USB, always done Ethernet. Grab that Ethernet cable from inside the machine, plug it in and config an IP Address in the machine and your computer. MUCH more stable, no drivers needed, and WAY faster as well. That may fix you up.

Yueming CMA1390 how to run lightburn smartcarve to Ruida

We moved to a larger laser and it seems Lightburn won’t run on it which is terrible news for us! It’s a Yueming CM1390 with their smartCarve V1 controller. Does anyone know a way to convert to a Ruida controller? I have added photos below! Thank you in advance. image|577x500 [image]
