Variable Text, QR Codes, and Arrays Using a CSV

LightBurn Software Questions
1

I have seen each of these topics spoken about to one extent or another, but have not found a consolidated answer and am looking for some guidance.

Objective: Using a csv file as the base generate a series of QR codes in an array.

The CSV would contain 2 unique columns, 1 would be a URL for the QR code and the other would be a manufacture number

I have tried consolidating this numerous times, but I am not getting the array to advance and display to QR codes.

  • Use the QR code generator in LightBurn to create the code

  • In the QR Code dialog, set the Raw Content value to %0, and enable the ‘Use Variable Text’ toggle at the bottom, like this:

  • %0 means 'grab the string from column 0 in the CSV file

  • The ‘Variable Offset’ value in the QR code window chooses which ‘row’ of the CSV you’re using. If you create two codes, and set one to offset 0, and the 2nd to offset 1, you’ll pull values from two sequential rows from the CSV file.

Preview to see the result.

Let me know if this gets you going, or you’re still having issues.
