Using a Raspberry Pi by exporting Lightburn GCode and sending to a GCode sender on the Pi

[raykholo (Ray Kholodovsky)]

Here is a detailed conversation about why LightBurn cannot natively run on a Pi, with a caveat:

The issue is the processor used in the Raspberry Pis. They use a different architecture from the processor used in PCs. It is therefore not possible to run LightBurn on a Pi natively. Another forum user has reported successfully running LightBurn on Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi. This only works because Win10 includes a translation layer that converts the instructions from the PC CPU instruction set to the rPi CPU instruction set. This isn’t ideal and typically suffers slow performance.

Not sure what kind of machines you have but LightBurn can make the gCode, you can save it, and run it via any number of gCode senders that are available on Rasp Pi.
