Add separation in G commands for XY coordinates

[davorin (Richard Klingler)]

Good morning (o;

Was time to revive my old self-built CNC machine where I attached a cheapo blue laser.
The firmware is FluidNC running on a Makerbase Tinybee board and everything is working fine.

But when I want to send something from Lightburn to FluidNC the generated GCode commands don’t separate the X and Y coordinates…so FluidNC only moves in Y direction…

Is there an option inside Lightburn to add a space between the X and Y values?

thanks in advance

I don’t believe there’s a way to change the spacing. But at the same time I didn’t think FluidNC had an issue with LightBurn g-code so I’m curious what’s going on. FluidNC should be fine with any GRBL compatible g-code. Have you isolated the movement issue specifically to spacing?

Are you using GRBL device profile?

Or perhaps is there a FluidNC update that might help?

Hello

Seems I got rid of it now…

I suspect FluidNC needs all axes to be homed before it would accept movements in any axis…
so therefore I assume it only moved the already homed X axis…

So no issues here anymore…besides those “can’t connect” due to busy serial port…but that’s another story (o;

cheers
