Sculpfun SF-A9 is not working via WIFI, but via USB?

[TGM (Tobias)]

Dear all,

I have a new Sculpfun SF-A9 and I am trying out Lightburn. I am very new to the whole laser topic, so please forgive me some stupid questions.

I connected the laser via USB to my MacBook and was able to connect it to Lightburn as device. (Lightburn found it during the search). Now I disconnected the USB connection.

My Sculpfun has an IP and is connected to my personal wireless network. I configured that via Sculpfun software and I am able to open the Sculpfun device website of my laser. I tried to create a manual connection in Lightburn with RGBL and TCP-IP. But Lightburn always says, that this device is disconnected. In the Console windows of LightBurn it always give out the information “Waiting for connection”.

Does someone has any idea? Sure, I could work via USB. But I think via wireless network it would be much more easier and has more comfortable for me.

Thanks!

Here you have a page with a link to a manual with instructions:

Also be aware USB is more reliable than WIFI. It is not competing for bandwidth.

Also, congratulations on the SF-A9. I bought one when I needed more power than my S30 could deliver. Now I have a scalpel and a chainsaw.
