ruida / rdworks remote origin and job start

[rilliam]

Is it possible to perform the following tasks with a ruida controller?

1. Set job origin remotely (not at laser cutter control panel) (equivalent of pressing ORIGIN on ruida control panel)

2. Start selected job remotely (job selected from control panel) (equivalenet of pressing START on ruida control panel)

I figured this out there is a start/stop option in the RDWorks > Laser work window. You can feed that dialog an *.rd file by clicking UFileOutput and changing the file extension mask to *. Then using the axis move options in the RDWorks > Work window you can move to the position you want. Position must be set to Current Position in the RDWorks > Laser Work window. Here is a screenshot. I use DeskPins to keep the video on top of RDWorks.
