I just ordered a new 10 high 50w laser with a ruida rdc5121g controller. My old machine had smoothieware. So to burn a job I just hit start and off to the races. I could be misunderstanding what I’ve read, but it’s different with a ruida controller. I’m now unsure how to burn a job or what steps to take. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have not heard of the Ruida model controller you mention. However, if it acts like the 644X models, yes, you can click “Start” in Lightburn and it will run the job. After looking at the information on this processor, I do not know if you can store a file, then run it later without the computer attached.
Claims it has 128M of memory for ‘stand alone’ operation.
Found this manual, but it is typical of the Ruida line…

I’d guess it works similar to the 644X series… I did not see anything on the console to allow for ‘reading’ a file that is stored on the machine…
I would think you could use ‘send’ to get it there or as @patricr mentioned…
Good luck… let us know how it works out…
