Thanks for your feedback,
What does your answer mean - Do you still try to find a solution?
With 0.9.20 I had no problem at all - obviously the new Update had some changes how to handle the controller.
e.g.: you mentioned that Ruida should have even fewer issues with connectivity:
TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS FOR DSP CONTROLLERS
Ruida, Trocen, and TopWisdom users should now have fewer issues with connectivity. LightBurn now connects to DSP controllers only when active. If you run multiple copies of LightBurn and have had issues sending to the laser from your 2nd copy, this fixes it.
However, would appreciate if you could look in to your controller connectivity improvements, if there any conflicts now with the 6445 controller.
Could you please try to find a fix for this issue.
GOOD NEWS!
Thanks for offering a modified Lightburn version 9.21-3
I just made a trial with a 17min. job, including image, engraving, cutting.
The job runs smoothly to the end, without any problems, this never happened with the previous version.
I tried a second job, ca. 15min., also includes image, engraving, cutting, this job also runs to the end without problem.
I would say this version is running stable and can only say a BIG Thank You to the Lightburn team.
My workflow is as follows:
Design Laser models on iMac BigSur and save it in the cloud.
Then at the workshop, we have an old MacBook on the machine with OS 10.12.6 Sierra
Here again my system configuration on the 1060 laser for reference:
Ruida 6445, MacBookPro 10.12.6 Sierra, USB cable connection with FTDI driver from Lightburn Forum.
I used the following Download you offered for Mojave, Catalina or older!
Ok. The same issue here with lightburn ver. 0.9.22 and Ruida ā¦ Can not recognize the 6445G controller.
I already downloaded the above drivers to add Ruida manually but without any luck ā¦ couldnāt find the Ruida controller in my lightburn controller list .
Actually for me the connection problem is solved with Ver. 0.9.22
Iām using an old Mac book pro with Sierra and a Ruida 6445G.
Both are connected with USB cable.
But you need install the FTDIUSB driver you can find somewhere above mentioned and linked.
Under Devices in Lightburn you have only one choice for Ruida Controllers, just took that and connect.
Yes . i already installed the above drivers , but couldnāt find the Ruida controller in lightburn under devices . Iām using Mac Book Pro with Mojave.
Same for me as Rick showed on the screenshot.
Iām using the DSP version from Lightburn and simply choose āRuidaā from the menu.
Itās included in the Lightburn DSP Version.
Iām having this issue on a Ruida 664XG with the newest version of lightburn, Iām having the issue where I send a file from a laptop with High Sierra, and the run counter will start but movement and no laser action, but when I hit stop, it will stop and double beep like normal. The files that were posted on the links above are no longer working it seems.
The Lightburn download versions above are alterations in the update process and might not be available to download now, the problems are all fixed in 9.22. The recent version 9.23 I didānt try yet, because 9.22 is running stable for my system and no major changes are happened in 9.23.
The Lightburn developer Team invested in different Mac OS Systems for trials which alternate configurations. They really put a lot of effort in Lightburn, to make new releases stable.
Even they do not respond sometimes, they will notice the user comments and continuously improve and update the software. Maybe just wait a little before updating and use the previous version instead.
Weāve released 0.9.24, and it has worked for nearly everyone whoās reported an issue with 0.9.21 - .23. Please try the new version and let us know if youāre still getting issues.
