2.1.2

Beacon 2.1.2 — Windows

Fixed

• In rare cases the main window could stop updating after a status change (the new colour fade could produce an invalid colour). Fixed.

Also in this version (new since 2.1.0)

• Install on Arduino — put Beacon's stack light program on an Arduino Uno straight from Beacon, no Arduino IDE needed.
• Job name in the header — while a job runs, the top of the main screen shows the file being cut.
• Framing looks different from Ready — a marching outline and a turning ring, like LightBurn's framing line.
• Animations — the Running glow breathes and colours fade between statuses (Settings → Display → Animations).
• Relay buttons — right-click to rename or remove them; a switch to hide them from the main screen.
• Settings on one page, a clearer setup assistant, and test mode that looks exactly like a real status.

⚠️ If you use LightBurn's API (API or Both mode)

To show job names from the API, go to Settings → Detection → Connect again and click Allow in LightBurn's pop-up.

Mac

Mac stays on 2.1.0 for now: download it from the v2.1.0 release.
