I can home my Creality Falcon 10W using the “Laser” window and frame the design currently in the Workspace window. This seems to indicate that Lightburn can command the Creatlity. I have cut and burned a few projects using laserGRBL, so I know that the machine is funtional. However, the “play” button has no effect.
In an effort to debug this issue, I noticed in the Workspace window that, when I draw a shape using the tools in the left panel (e.g. a square), the shape has a “-1” added in the middle with a pink vertical line on the right of the shape, and a circle has a pink diagonal line in the top right corner. I also imported a shape, and this shape has “0” in the centre. Another imported shape has “-1” in the centre. I do not know what these number signify…perhaps they are a clue to why the play button has no effect.
Yes, it’s true; I downloaded the trial but did not start using it until recently.
The reason was that I first needed to become familiar with using a laser engraver before I activated the 30 days trial. That way, I can evaluate LightBurn and not worry about operating the machine.
Having used LaserGRBL for a few months, I am now ready to consider LightBurn.
I’m not intimate with the specifics but essentially these provide insights on the number of control points that are used to represent the available shapes.
