Lightburn and Uccnc

Postby andre99 » Wed Dec 02, 2020 2:29 pm

Who can help me,
I have a Stepcraft D840 Lpt Uccnc uc-100
Machine with a OPTLasers 6 watt.
Now i want to use Lightburn but lightburn does not support Uccnc is the a way maybe to get it work?

Maybe to change the on and off codes in the .TXT file that Lightburn can save ??

I there anyone who hase solved this problem and can tell how i can do it.

What i want to do is make ceramic tiles on the Norton method and i really don't have any idea after trying days and days if that is possible ??

Thank you in advance for the help

I'm sorry, but I have no idea how Lightburn works, so I cannot really answer your question, but if it can output industry standard RS274NGC g-code files then it could work with the UCCNC, otherwise it will not.

M3 and M5 are spindle on/off commands, they are not syncronous to the motion, so they are very unoptimal for laser use.
Maybe write a small program which goes through the selected g-code file and replaces the M3 and M5 texts to M10 and M11.
