Hi Jack Wilborn,
For this application to work, you must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the laser.
The program connects directly to the ip address to the laser.
Thanks @berainlb for the info, I’ve been a little too fast. At the same time, Ruida offers a communication program in the same direction, hence this confusion.
By the way, Ruida’s wireless dongle, is it exclusive to RDWorks ?, (I’m well aware that these are 2 different things I’m talking about.)
Have not tested but do not think @MuForum application will work with the LightBurn Bridge. This is not a standard Ethernet bridge, we added some magic to get things to work as we intended, so I do not think it will work when using the LightBurn Bridge.
Hi Rick. LightBurn Bridge - If I understood correctly, then this is a special converter of TCP packets into UDP packets for communicating with a laser?
The default IP address is “10.0.3.3”.
Default ports too: 40200/50200, 40207/50207 ?
We used to refer to it as a ‘messenger service’, it’s a pretty dumb protocol.
They have attempted to fix some of the issues. Not sure how and what they are handling with the Pi’s Lightburn layer but I’ve had no problems and added a camera to it also…
The Pi runs Raspbian a spinoff of one of the Linux distributions.
Check out the Lightburn documentation on building your own… I had a pi around, so now it’s been ‘re-flashed’ as a “Lightburn Bridge”…
Thanks for the information, but I know all this, I read the documentation, but everything is fraught with dangers there.
To understand in more detail, I need to see the network traffic when using “Lightburn Bridge”.
A cast of packets (*.pcapng file) using the “Wireshark” program will be enough.
