@Anas @shibo RE: lbrn. The laser is getting too hot with some short cutting paths

Its not just a matter of creating shapes, we need to make sure that the paths are long so that we only do cold abalation
Pads are literally falling off the pcb
I don't have the context but wdym short paths ml
?
I just Wana know this is cool
You give a command with a path to the laser which it'll follow,
So ig we need to have more data represented as the same path
For example a connected net can be a single path, at least that's what I understood
Correct!
So we need to make them in a single polygon shape?
Shapes are just the visual representation
I think we need to have a two phase process
First phase we get all the cutting geometry
Second phase we compute a single long cutting path
I also need to calibrate the laser a bit, since it seems to get less powerful further from the center
quick update on this- i attempted to implement this for a bit and it seems LightBurn doesn't really support this behavior of having a "single long cutting path". I am going to run some experiments tomorrow but we may need to make layers or something- i'm not sure but it seems like i might need to compromise by making the laser just move slower
i think it's ok to continue doing what we were doing with generating shapes, i have a hacky solution i can run in the interim where i have to just manually press a button for each pass
