Ruida 6445 and Rotary

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Ruida controllers

Success! The magic bullet was setting the origin on the Ruida. This is what works for me with V15.01.22 and the rotary connected to the U axis.

  1. Enable rotary in Lightburn
  2. Use ‘Start from current position’ in Lightburn
  3. Jog x and y on the Ruida to move the laser to the required starting point on the work
  4. Press ‘Origin’ button on Ruida
  5. Send job from Lightburn to Ruida
  6. Run job by pressing start button on Ruida.

Step 4 is what I wasn’t doing. Everyone else may have known to do that, but I didn’t! :grinning:

Thank you very much to all for your input, much appreciated.
