For framing, if you turn off “continuous” mode it should behave. Most of the DSP controllers, when framing, require us to poll them, and they don’t let you stop a move in progress, so the continuous framing mode can be a little finicky.
Regarding the rotary settings, I honestly could never find good information about the rotary setup for TopWisdom controllers that made any sense. They have two numbers that they require you to enter and I couldn’t find anything that described concisely what they were for or how they worked. If I can’t figure out from TopWisdom’s own documentation how to use the rotary settings in their controller, it’s difficult for me to make LightBurn support it.
If you’re looking for a smaller Ruida, the 5121 is nice - it doesn’t have the color display that the TL-A1 has, but it’s a Ruida. And the 7132 is the same size control head, and DOES have a color screen, and includes the motor drivers in the “control box” piece.

If you can find any good information for setting the TL-A1 rotary settings and how they work, I’d be happy to take another look.
