Some cameras, like the 5mp-60, have a narrow focus depth, and if mounted high, can be tricky to focus. Focus the camera so as much of the bed is in focus as possible.Ramming the laser head into your shiny new camera is a great way to increase your blood pressure. Make sure that wherever you choose to mount the camera that it is out of the path of the laser head, and that you run the cable so it is not in the path of the beam.A small piece of EVA foam or even tissue can hold the camera securely in the mount. If your camera is in a mount, make sure it does not move within the mount.If you mount to the lid of your laser, make sure the lid opens to the same place every time - gas struts have a bit of play in them, so using a cord or rod to ensure the lid is always at the same position when opened can help.
The camera must be solidly mounted such that it is always in exactly the same position when using it, relative to the work area of your laser, and the top of the material.Most LightBurn cameras are manually focused by twisting the lens. The camera should be focused as well as possible.We generally recommend mounting on the inside of the lid, when opened, like this: The ideal mounting position for the camera is directly above the center of the bed of the laser, with the bed completely in view (similar to the image shown above).If you are installing the camera yourself, there are a few key things here worth noting. If your machine already has a camera installed, you can skip this part. It takes a bit of effort to set up, but it's worth it. LightBurn will correct for this, as well as mounting at odd angles, and will simulate a clean, top-down view of whatever is on the bed of your laser. This image is fairly distorted, because the camera used here has a fish-eye lens. Select the camera, and the view from the camera will appear in the window, as shown: If your computer has a compatible USB camera connected, it will appear in the Camera drop-down box. You'll see a window that looks like this: In LightBurn, enable the 'Camera Control' window by going to the Window menu and selecting it. Trace simple artwork from the camera image.LightBurn's camera feature allows you to use a USB connected camera with LightBurn to: Using a Camera Using a camera with LightBurn The few times I don't completely miss a note you can hear the hit sounds are perfectly synced with my own clicks.Īutoplay with offset Here you can see that the visuals (the circles and also the display in the bottom right) are in perfect sync with the music but the hit sounds are just as far off as the first video.Numeric Edits - size, position, orientation Me without offset Here I am still clicking in time with the music (though I'm thrown off a bit by the graphics). Me with offset You can clearly hear I am clicking my mechanical keyboard in time with the music while the hit sounds are obviously out of sync (probably by 155ms.) Screenshots or videos showing encountered issue: Just figured I'd mention it now since it's still an issue in lazer. Note: I've actually always had this issue even back in osu!stable and have simply been playing with effects volume at 0 this whole time. It looks to me like they trigger at the user's click but do not sound until click + offset Hit sounds either do not adjust with the audio offset when they should, or they are adjusting when they should not. Effects like this are greatly exaggerated due to my sound card requiring a large offset of -155ms. Hitsounds cannot and will not adjust with audio offset.
