After the unit is homed only 2 “Frame” activities work. Job Origin, upper right and Current Position lower left.
I bought the machine and software, loaded the software and the first few jobs went great. I saved the device settings and created and saved a modified version to use the Otura Roller. Everything went fine.
I was done with the rotator so I went back to the original job settings and crashed and burned. Not being able to figure it out, I bailed out. I uninstalled the Light Burn software, cleaned up the “remaining” files, and down loaded/installed LightBurn again. The problem persisted despite the replacement. So much for the easy way out.
I’m now completely stuck. Here is the error I get when trying to “Frame” my jobs, other than the two that work. (listed above)
This is going to sound a little stupid, but, i don’t know how or where to change the homing value. Is that usually done in the “console” panel or is there another place where i can see what is in there now?
Normally you’d be able to change these GRBL configuration changes from 2 places:
Edit->Machine Settings
Console window
However, I don’t think you’ll be able to make this particular change from the Machine Settings window due to the issue I talk about in the linked post.
Type this into the Console window:
$I
$$
The first command will list your firmware version. You actually already show this in your screenshot. You are running version 185. The current one is version 187.
The second command will show you all your current GRBL settings. Check for what the value is for $22. I’m guessing it’s either 0 or 1.
Change $22 to 23 by typing:
$22=43
Retest and see if things are better.
If that doesn’t work then try typing:
$RST=*
After that you may want to update your firmware. It resolves this by using standard values for $22.
