I have been testing my first job. Once the job finishes the head just stops there at end point. I have to hit reset to get it to go home and be ready for the next job.
How can I tell the controller to go home when done? I mostly use “Absolute Control”
Move your laser head to the home position manually (with the arrow keys or reset) and press the home button on the panel.
In the Ruida machine settings you can set the return position, to No Return, Absolute Origin or User Origin.
I prefer to set mine to Origin (user origin) as I use it the most. Whatever works for you.
Did this previously work? … these don’t usually change on their own.
I’m not sure my son-in-law/daughter gave it to me so I’m just getting it set up for first runs here. Down to for several years but it used but never used it so they gave it to me.
But thanks for your input here. I will go check it out on not at home right now.
That worked Thank you for your accurate response
I jumped the gun. I thought it worked but after running the file again it is just stops at the end of the job and freezes control panel. I have to hit reset to get it ready for the next run.
Is there somethinng in my file I need to set to identify the end?
Not that I know of.
Does your machines console have any information in it?
Is it showing an increasing process time? Mine tells me the job time, but it counts, wondering if it thinks it’s still processing the job.
Maybe @ednisley has an idea.
Your profile lists the controller as Ruida 644XG. Is there a more specific model printed on the back of the hardware, like 6442 or 6445?
Is it connected to the PC by USB or Ethernet?
Let’s verify some basic setup / config:
Reset button re-homes the machinePer @jkwilborn’s recommendation, is the controller set to return to the machine origin at the end of the job? The 6442/6445 doc calls the Back Position, but that verbiage likely does not match what you’ll find in the Machine Settings or on the controller’s display, so a screen shot / photo will help us see what you see.
Do you use LightBurn’s Send or Start to get the job into the controller?
Given the controller’s history, you should delete all the job files stored in its flash memory, using either the LightBurn File List window or the controller’s display.
If you can simplify
