I’m trying to use my rotary with Lightburn 1.6.03. However, when I try to set the steps per rotation and wheel diameter using a roller rotary, Lightburn will not save and store the settings. It will go back to the default settings. The roller rotary was working. What am I missing?
This is on a Ruida controller, I assume? Do you get an error of some kind?
I have a Thunder Laser NOVA24, that uses the Ruida. I never see any errors.
So when you click Laser Tools > Rotary Setup, it doesn’t show any errors on that window (at the bottom), but the settings never change?
I can open the rotary setup, and there are no errors, but when I change the ‘steps per rotation’ and roller diameter, the settings revert back to the default and will not save the settings for my Piburn rotary.
I think I know what happened. My Thunder Laser is connected the my laptop PC with a USB cable. I wiggled the cable and the Ruida controller connected to the PC. Guess what? Everything is working as it should. Little S*** matters. Thanks for the reply.

It should tell you “failed to write controller settings” in that window, or give you an error reading them. Either way, I’m happy it’s sorted itself out.
