Hello, I have a Vevor Lasercutter 900/600 functioning with Ruida. It has worked perfectly with my PC running Windows 11 for 3 months through USB Connection. I can no longer transfer files, lightburn will prompt: Connection Failure. Laser is busy or paused.
I have reloaded FTDI Drivers
When connecting the computer via USB the Laserscreen turns on so there must be some sort of connection.
I tried to connect via Ethernet cable between computer and lasercutter but no success.
The lasercutter still works with the programs I already entered befor the problem appeared.
Please let me know if you have any idea how to connect the computer back to the lasercutter.
Thank you.
Best rgeards

This is really the best option… is it near your router?
With a console you can change the IP of the laser and put it on your local network.
The Ruida doesn’t work like most of our other equipment works. It has a static IP and your computer has to talk to a router to get on a network. You can do this, but you have to know a bit about networks…
The most simple way is to use Ethernet through your local network, if possible.
I had mine a few days and was frustrated with the usb interface, so mines been on Ethernet forever.
Thank you very much for your answer I will look into this solution allthough it may take a little bit of time. Still USB connection can’t disapear by magic, there must me some explanation to it.
This is what I use to connect from my laptop to my Ruida China blue. It has worked more reliably than any other solution I have tried. Maybe 2 :busy or not found errors in a year:
Yes, it’s a relatively slow serial connection. If you add low cost parts along with poor cables it stacks the odds against you… Add that to the Rudia being a controller not a communication device… they can be a pain…
I have usb on the fiber and it fails now and then… wish it had Ethernet.
Hello again and thank you for the alternate solution. Indeed it worked going through a router. I used the internet box as router and it worked perfectly where I had failed connecting the computer directly to the laser via ethernet cable. This does not solve the USB problem but it does save me! you guys get a free ride on an ultralight if ever you come by La Mouette, Darois in France!
Keep in mind that most with most systems the device asks the router for an IP address and the router sends it one from the pool of addresses. This is referred to as DHCP.
If during a reboot all of the devices need a new ip and the router does this. If one happens to become active before another or a new device is added to your local network, the router could assign the same ip to another device.
Not a big chance of it but usually an easy fix. You can do what’s called bond within the router, so it knows it can’t use that address.
With the routers today, it’s relatively simple. This is the lan map, click on it, or right click and edit reservation. This isn’t needed for the Lightburn bridge… I just used it as an example.
