Don't know if anyone has tried this.
My LaserJet printer has a USB and CAT5 connection.
My 3D printer has a USB and CAT5 connection.
My Chinese CO2 laser has CAT5, USB and USB thumb drive connections.
My Chinese Fiber laser only has a USB port for connecting to my laptop.
Has anybody ever tried to find a Network to USB device to run their Fiber laser or anything that needs two-way communications?
I know they make printer servers that you can go from a network hub and convert it's USB output to a printer's USB input plug. (Now days most all business class LaserJet printers already have CAT5 connectivity so they are not as big as they were years ago. )
Just curious if anyone has any experience with the network=>USB devices before.
In searching I don't see where any of the Chinese Fiber lasers in the 20/50w range have controller boards that can communicate via CAT5 or I would just consider replacing the controller card in the Fiber laser.
Thanks.Rob
