Hi, how is it going? Please help! Any ideas welcome.
Our rebranded RUIDA controller based laser suddenly stopped working after it finished a job. There was no apparent reason for it and now it’s behaving strangely. I’ll list here what seems interesting and observable.
-
Normally I run the laser using Lightburn on a Windows machine, literally pressing the start button.
-
As of now, while the frame button frames normally (!) the start button doesn’t do anything at all. It doesn’t throw an error, it doesn’t start moving the laser, it just doesn’t seem to do anything at all.
-
If I “send” the file to the laser cutter, then using the controller on the laser, pressing the green start/ pause button, I can start the job. However, no matter what I put into it as geometry, it only moves the x-axis. The y-axis does not move.
-
So, the laser does does fire and burn, but only on the x-axis. he chiller is running normally.
Any ideas what is going on? I’m running the latest Lightburn, latest Windows, but there was no software change or update between it working and not working.
Not usable.
Thank you!
