Revision history – GCC Connector for LightBurn

Version 1.0.23

Rollers (Rotary)

• The settings for roll-over devices are now located in a separate window, making them more clearly separated from the license and program settings.

• The calculation for roll-off devices has been corrected. The connector now reliably uses the entered object diameter when transmitting to the laser.

Raster engraving

• Raster jobs are automatically adjusted to supported resolutions for GCC-S400 lasers.

• The processing and positioning of raster lines has been further improved, especially at different resolutions.

Laser support and device management

• The support and recognition of additional GCC laser models has been improved.

• The laser management has become more robust. No longer available connections and outdated mappings are reset more reliably.

• When setting up a network laser manually, the selected laser type now takes precedence over automatic detection.

Version 1.0.22

Rollers (Rotary)

• The support for the axis of rotation has been corrected for all laser models.

Raster engraving

• The engraving quality has been significantly improved with varying DPI values. Blank lines and moiré effects are avoided.

• Orders are no longer rejected if the DPI values differ from the supported hardware resolutions. The resolution is automatically adjusted.

• The DPI test in the user interface is eliminated.

• Actual gaps in the motif remain intact.

• The positioning of raster frames was refined.

Image tuning

• The image tuning can be configured individually for each device in the settings window.

• The settings are saved and automatically applied with each order.

Laser management

• Saved lasers can be deleted via the context menu of their port.

• A new reset allows the application and the laser list to be reset to factory settings. The license remains unchanged.

Supported laser models

• The laser model GCC FMC280 has been added.

General improvements

• All new texts have been translated into all existing languages.

• Minor text and Unicode corrections have been made.

Version 1.0.20

CorelDRAW and SVG Import

• The detection of CorelDRAW installations has been improved for different editions and installation directories.

• Support for 64-bit as well as older 32-bit versions of CorelDRAW.

• If CorelDRAW does not provide an automatic interface, a file can be exported manually as SVG and then selected directly in the connector.

• The SVG import now also correctly processes complex CorelDRAW transformations.

Version 1.0.19

Firmware compatibility

• A compatibility mode for older devices and firmware versions has been added.

Version 1.0.18

Connection and communication

• Connection troubleshooting tips have been expanded and made easier to understand.

• The feedback for lasers that are not reachable has been improved.

Speed and order management

• The speed can be % set more precisely in increments of 0.1.

• A new order history makes it easier to track the orders that have been sent recently.

CorelDRAW Import

• The user interface of the CorelDRAW import has been unified.

Version 1.0.17

Laser management and network

• Several GCC lasers in the network can be more easily detected and managed.

• The mapping of USB and network lasers has been revised and remains stable even when the device serial numbers change.

• The network setup has been simplified, including the search for reachable lasers.

User interface

• The user interface for lasers, materials, and settings has been improved.

Raster engraving

• Raster jobs with large distances between the processing lines are processed more reliably.

Speed control

• The mm/s values displayed in LightBurn correspond to a speed scale from practically 0 to 100 in the GCC Connector %.

Version 1.0.16

Raster engraving

• The processing of large raster engravings has been improved.

• Raster jobs with large jumps in the Y direction are detected more reliably and divided into safe sub-areas.

• This increased the reliability of large-area engravings.

Version 1.0.15

Rollers (Rotary)

• Support for roll-in devices has been improved.

• The diameter or circumference of a workpiece can be entered directly.

• The required conversion is performed automatically by the connector.

Order processing

• Multiple jobs can be sent sequentially over the same LightBurn connection.

• Stability when simultaneously editing and sending orders has been increased.

Positioning

• The jog and positioning functions have been expanded for additional GCC laser models.

Raster engraving

• The quality of raster engravings has been improved, especially for very fine areas and high resolutions.

• The resolution of 1500 DPI is supported.

Version 1.0.14

Laser management and network

• Laser names are displayed more consistently.

• The input and configuration of network lasers has been simplified.

Order management and security

• The start options for orders and the associated safety instructions have been improved.

Help and Diagnosis

• The help and diagnostic functions have been revised.

Version 1.0.13

License management

• License management has been improved.

• A license can be safely deactivated directly through the settings.

• Upon successful deactivation, the local license data will be removed so that the license can be activated on another computer.

User interface

• The operation of the license and settings page has been made more clear and concise.

Important note regarding speed

The speed values shown in LightBurn are mm/s are included in the GCC Connector for LightBurn as percentual speed values from 0 to 100 % to understand.
