Mintion Lasercam Fully Wireless Connection With LightBurn

注記: We are not suggesting that users leave the laser engraver unattended. The purpose of the wireless connection with LightBurn is to avoid exposure to the smoke generated during plywood cutting and the toxic fumes from acrylic cutting or engraving, even when using an enclosure. さらに, camera monitoring ensures that your eyes are not directly exposed to the laser light.

The Mintion Lasercam can function as a wireless bridge between the laser engraver(GRBL Protocol) and LightBurn. With the latest firmware(V1.2.7+) for the camera and LightBurn(V1.4.05+), wireless connectivity for data transmission and video streaming is supported.

Testing Camera Calibration in LightBurn

Follow the Calibrate Camera steps in LightBurn to capture the image

Select the SplitCam Video Driver during camera selection. Use the calibration card to capture the image, aiming for a lower scope number for better results. The flatter the calibration card, the better the results.

ノート: LightBurn will capture the maximum video input, but it is unclear why SplitCam outputs at a 3MP resolution (2048×1536) when the LaserCam is only a 1080P (1920×1080) resolution camera.
