I don’t trust the original glasses. So the idea is to use a USB camera with the Cam option of Lightburn to take a look at the workspace.
… but Lightburn doesn’t find my USB cam In stand-alone mode the USB cam works perfectly, but I can’t select the cam in Lightburn because the Cam pulldown menu is empty.
Edit:
i tested the same Cam at another Win10 PC with a Lightburn Trail installation. At this PC it worked.
Reinstalled all drivers on the first PC (Laptop) but did not work.
Plug in the USB Camera before you boot up the computer and see if it finds the camera in LB.
I am running Win10 and if I plug in the camera after I turn on the laptop, it generally will not find it in LB.
If I connect the USB camera before turning on the laptop it always finds it in LB.
Because I have a dedicated laptop for the my laser (100w Reci/Ruida) I just leave the camera and laser connected permanently.
… by the way … as you can see I use a cross line laser to align the workpiece exactly.
But the laser point is very far away from the intersection of the cross line laser.
Can I use the option “Laser Pointing Offset” for such a case? What does this offset do in relation to the starting point?
At the moment I still have great difficulties to understand how to position my material so that the zero point of the Lightburn preview image is also the starting point of the laser.
Maybe you can contribute some more explanatory words to this topic - thank you very much.
And yes, the Laser Pointer Offset value is to allow you to specify an offset for the red dot pointer. You measure the distance between the laser output and the red-dot pointer and enter those numbers there, and LightBurn will offset the jobs by that much when running them.
