Hello from NorCal

[Tripp Pope]

Thanks for letting me join. We have a small manufacturing shop in Rocklin CA. We recently bought a large format cnc laser to accompany our 130w Full Spectrum laser(24" x 36"). Our new laser is a 5' X 10" dual tube 300 watt CO2 laser that uses Ruida 6332m control board. I have a water cooled 2.2KW cnc as well. If any one can help me interface with the Ruida in RDWorks that would be very helpful. I can easily connect to the laser using Lightburn, using the same usb cable I can not get RDWorks to communicate.

Welcome Trip.

There are often 2 USB ports on the rudia systems - one is for a thumb drive to load files into the laser - the other is for a USB data cable to upload from laptop/desktop to laser

Take a look at your documentation to determine which port to plug the computer into

Also, the Ruida to RDw usb connection has always been problematic, via Ethernet is better.

Pete,

I am able to communicate with the laser using Lightburn, same cable and port.

[Pete Cyr]

Ok - did you enable USB Cable in RDWORKS

Pages from Fixed-RDWorksLab_com Manual V1.pdf

Is Device -USB:Auto checked?

LBurn is a couple lightyears ahead of RDw BTW, we can't really expect RDw to work... as we expect.
