Hi I would like to get the Lightburn software for my CO2 DSP system that has been upgraded to a Ruida controller. I used the Lightburn test to verify the basic functions and all seems ok. However I am missing one thing in the documentation and also I could not find a clear answer in the forum for m…

LightBurnSoftware/Documentation/blob/master/CoordinatesOrigin.md#user-origin [Return to main page](README.md) ---- # Coordinates and Job Origin There are a couple different ways to tell LightBurn how to cut the project within the work area of your machine. You choose them in the "S…

Thanks for the link. Sorry when I was unclear, but I think this page does not adress my problem. I think closest is the following section, but there is no further information: “The green square in the lower-left of the image represents the Job Origin, and the red square in the same place shows the…

Thanks a lot. The first part of the video addresses the origin issue, but just demonstrates what I observe without explaining it. The statement “absolute origin is not where homing is” and “absolute origin ist mostly always lower left” are imho not that helpful. It looks from what he demonstrates an…

On my K40, the machine origin is top left, this is also where my end stops are located. However, it could be interesting to hear other users of the same machine type as yours how they handle your question. (you have only written CO2 and Ruida in your profile, is it a “normal” 30-100 Watt Chinese o…

No its a normal Chinese laser, but I upgraded the old controller with a RD6442G. The home is also at the end stop position which is top right. Maybe there is a way to switch the origin on the controller, but I have not found it out yet.

Hope you find the right solution Good luck

For Homing behavior for a Ruida controller, this is worth review: Configuring a Ruida - LightBurn Software Documentation

Hi Rick, tanks a lot for point this out. I did read that for setting up the machine. In the mean time I have been through the controller manual again, an there is not option to swap the origin on the controller itself. Can you confirm whether or not such a function is available in Lightburn? Or is…

Your physical laser Home position, also known as Machine Origin, and the ‘Origin’ in the ‘Device Settings’ window in LightBurn need to match to have the coordinate system behave as expected when controlling from LightBurn. The ‘Start From’ and ‘Job Origin’ section, found in the ‘Laser’ window, is o…
