New camera need to talk this through

[rmandl7660 (Robert Earl Mandl)]

Hello, I need to talk to someone more experienced with the cameras

• my laser is a omtech 2028 8w
• my camera is a lightburn 120
• My laser is located 10 ft through a wall from the controlling computer, ( please no arguments over distance my rooms are small and it has been working for 2 years)
• my laser works over ethernet cable not usb.

1. Does camera need to be connected directly to the operating computer? OR can it connect over ether ?
2. Can the camera be configured to work over Bluetooth with a lightburn raspberry?
   Thank you for your responses I recently upgraded to a camera so I need this help
   regards,
   Bob

As far as I know, most setups have the camera directly connected to the os usb inputs.

There has been some hacks, but none of them have really caught on.

This is one by @berainlb from a while back.. I ran this one when I was running a PI, so it does or did work.

LightBurn running on Raspberry Pi - Now working

Good news, everyone! This has been often discussed but never realized, until now. [EDIT 2023-11-25] The instructions in the first post are old. Refer to post 32 for updated instructions and library archives. LightBurn running on a Raspberry Pi: [LightBurn_on_RPi] I had theorized that this was possible and wanted to see what it would take for this to work. Note that this is not a tutorial. This is a proof of concept and as can been seen from the screenshot I only got as far as the activatio…

Good luck

Okay worked the problem. I installed a usb cable with amplifier to make the system work. I could not get lightburn raspberry to connect the camera feed however it will power the camera. however it will not transmit data from camera.
Thank you
for you feedback and support
