Aurora v2 ThunderCAM Data

The camera module on the Aurora v2 galvo as of 9/7/23 shows a live preview that's flipped 180 degrees. This doesn't affect the overlay in lightburn as lightburn camera alignment will correct for that automatically, so it's just the live preview. Performing the full lens calibration is not easy, especially with the flipped preview, so we have compiled a camera profile that you can import that eliminates the need to to a full lens calibration.

How To Use The Cam Profile


import this file and then perform the camera alignment and  you should be good to go. Here is how:
The camera settings file is attached at the bottom of this article

Download the file

Download the aurora v2 camera settings file at the bottom of this article.

Import the camera settings

You can right-click the camera window in LightBurn and choose import camera settings, then choose the file you just downloaded



Do the camera calibration

Go Directly to the Camera Calibration, but not the lens calibration (those values were imported with the file we just loaded) and complete the camera alignment procedure

How To Flip The Camera

You can modify the camera to be correct in the live preview. This involves disassembly of the camera mount, housing, as well as cutting wire management and fishing out 4~6 inches of camera cable. Then re-bundling and tying the wiring harness so it will not become damaged by the z axis moving parts inside the machine.

Again it's not necessary to flip this camera to use the camera, lightburn will still work and correct the overlay. Just the live preview will be inverted (which drives me crazy). If you want to correct the live preview inversion, follow this guide:
