Hi,
I understand that the JCZ boards are the most popular for galvo devices. I’m trying out a new board for a custom build, primarily for packaging constraints. I suspect it may be a JCZ clone but time will tell! I’m going to use this thread to document my adventures in getting the RKQ-LM-441 board up and running.
Wish me luck!
I can google that specific board, but it links me to this site that I don’t have access. If you do, get the manual and post it here.
So I’m not of much help. If it runs EZCad2, then it should work.
I might have found the manual. It’s too large to insert here as a TXT file.
Now worries, have the manuals already. got it direct from their site, it’s also on rsd-laser. It’s native software is RK-CAD, which looks interesting, however certain license components are $$$. My aim is to add board support to galvoplotter for it.
Here’s a link to the board manuals download page and RK-CAD manual and download.
I’ve never seen this type of controller and it doesn’t appear to be built by JCZ for EZCad2.
I think he’ll just have to download Lightburn and see if it connects.
That’s part of the appeal, lol. RKCad looks pretty interesting; lost of features for automation, db integration etc. Lotta random fancy licensable features too. Can’t find a pricelist anywhere . Took me while to find which button to press to switch to English. There are built in debug tools as well, so I think it should be pretty easy to dump/figure out the protocol it speaks to the controller with, but can’t do that until it actually arrives.
I now have the board in my hands, and got the laser yesterday. Busy weekend ahead!

Hi
Are you able to handle your Rk cad board ?
Witch contrôler you own and are able to do inner carving?
The RK-CAD controller only works with RK-CAD software. I doubt we will ever see LightBurn support for it.
Thanks. RTK Software is reliable and can do everything ? I need a controller able to do inner carving in crystal glass with a 2Dgalvo and Motorized Z axis.
I also found BSL board but difficult to obtain information.
The license for RKCAD inner carving is $800-1000 US; I believe that KeysoCAD is a reskin or RKCAD, and Rocksolid laser also user RK-CAD for their AphexRay HD. I’ve redirected my efforts to writing software to use a JCZ board using the roatary axis as a Z axis driver, based on the excellent work done by galvoplotter. It’s Carnical at the moment where I am, so will be back at it next week some time when I sober up!
It is very expensive 
Most AliExpress seller say there system do 3d inner carving with a bjjcz board and ezcad 2 but no one can fully demonstrated how they do that .
I will have a look on the project you referring to. Thanks
I suggest asking them… it could be they can’t.
When you buy the inner carving machine from Haotian they include the inner carving module.
What, exactly is this?
Bubblegrams. Also known as subsurface laser engraving
I was aware of what it produces… Can’t say I’ve directly heard the name. Thanks, at least now I know.
Anything that the machines costs are in the 5 digit range, I loose interest.
