Random Cutting Issues

[Fran (Francesca)]

Having some random issues with my machine…
Cutting a complete square or rectangle (tried circles too) and the machine randomly cuts a weird shape & and then it’s as if the laser is still firing as it finishes then goes back to its origin & doesn’t finish cutting it either.

I am using lightburn & a Ruida controller.
I’ve tried restarting my laser machine, restarting my laptop, changing USB cords, uninstalling & reinstalling lightburn, uninstalling & reinstalling the laser on lightburn, opening a different file to test again.
It works ok with a different program & sometimes

ok in lightburn but then randomly does this again!

Connections issues with a Ruida controller

Much easier. Get a cable. plug it into both machines. Configure the RuiDa with 10.10.1.100, 255.255.255.0 Configure the PC ethernet with 10.10.1.1, 255…255.255.0 - no gateway needed on the PC - it already got that from the WiFi and has set up the routing tables for you. Go to cmd, type ‘ping 10.10.1.100’ and see if you get a return. Never use USB again

How do I connect a Ruida controller with Ethernet?

Setting up a Ruida controller to connect via Ethernet isn’t hard, but it’s not quite as simple as just plugging it in. Follow these steps: 1) Get the IP Address of your computer: For Windows: Open a command prompt (click the Start button, type CMD, and hit enter). Type IPCONFIG and press enter. You’ll see something like this: [image] The one labeled ‘IPv4 Address’ is the interesting part - this is the network address of your computer on your local network. The first 3 groups of numbers …
