Pen Mode or ZAxis up/down travel

Well…this idea isn’t pretty but…

In a single layer, break up each of the vectors into “virtual” layers with ZAxis up/down. Then trick the Ruida controller into thinking LB just sent a massive amount of layers. I said it wasn’t pretty but if there is no limit to the number of layers sent, then it might work?

It’s odd that the controller will accept on/off commands like laser on/off on a single layer but it will not allow other commands between travel moves?

Oh well…it really would be super cool. Really don’t want to make a motorize version, but it might be worth it. Unless the fine folks at LB can do some magic. Lightburn really is a great program.

Ruida controllers are limited to 30 Layers, which is why there are 30 layers available.

We can do a lot of magic but alas we are limited by the abilities of the hardware.

Ok, this makes more sense now. It’s a bummer as a giant drawing tool would be amazing. I might have to investigate other options.

One day, maybe, there will be a magic option.

I agree… I’ve been after the mind reading option for decades…

It still does what I tell it and not what I want :crazy_face:

Very true!
