Power Scale below 10mm/sec w/Ruida?

[jwellman (Jared Wellman)]

I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a power scale with a Ruida controller when cutting at or below 10mm/sec?

I’m aware of this limitation:

Ruida / LightBurn won't cut below 10mm/s

This isn’t a LightBurn issue, but a Ruida one that’s quite common. There’s a controller setting called “Start Speed” that defaults to 10mm/sec. At that speed, power starts ramping up from Min Power to Max Power. Cutting at or below that speed means you’re using Min Power only, so if you’re cutting slow, set both Min and Max power the same and you’ll have no issues.

But I wasn’t sure if there was some way that I could still use the power scale and have the output set the min and max power to the same values for each object.

Thank you,
Jared

Go in to the machine settings and you can set your Start Speed to any number you like. Just because it defaults to 10 mm/sec doesn’t mean you cant change it.

Ah, good point.

Thanks!

Confused about best approach to min power setting

On a Ruida controller (for example) the power curve representing how min and max power function relative to speed, if it were drawn, might look something like this: [image] What is important to note about this is the configuration of the controller allows for setting the start speeds (either for Line Layers or for Fill / Engrave layers). The start speed is speed at which Min Power value is used on a layer. Any movement on a layer at or below the configured Start Speed Parameter in the contr…
