You didn’t include the "on or near line … " part of the error message, so it’s hard to tell which command it might be. Alarm:2 means that the laser hit a limit switch. It can happen at the very end because of the return to 0,0 (user finish position) if you don’t have your machine set to back off the switches a little.
If you go to Edit > Device Settings and move the Finish Position to 5,5, that should be far enough from the limit switches not to trigger them.
Sorry, here’s the full thing. It automatically homes when powered up. I tried changing the Finish Position to 5,5 and even 10,10, still no luck. The first part of the console message where it says “on or near line 4” is when I had it set at 5,5, the second part of the message when it says “on or near line 2” is after I changed it to 10,10.
Post a screen shot of your LightBurn window so I can see what the project, placement, and main window display looks like. Then, in the console, type $# and press enter, and type ? and press enter, then copy the controller output from both here so I can see those too.
Ok, you don’t have any offsets, which is good. Everything else looks correct as well. Try switching to mm and see if that works - I’m not sure why inches wouldn’t work, but it’s possibly related.
Does the laser move to the proper location if you use the click to move tool? Select that tool and click somewhere on the page - the laser should go there.
Okay so I made some progress because I realized that I think I should have the “X Homing Direction Invert” and “Y Homing Direction Invert” set to “True” but when i set them to true, I have to press “Start” 3 or 4 times for the laser to engrave what I want. The first 2 or 3 times it sort of makes a grinding noise and gives me this error

After I just keep spam-clicking “Start” eventually it will do the whole pattern. It’s also doing the patterns seemingly backwards though.
If you don’t actually know for certain what something is supposed to be, you shouldn’t change it. The machine settings are stored in the firmware of your device, and if you don’t have a backup, you can mess yourself up pretty good.
If it was homing to the proper corner already, you shouldn’t need to change those. What you might need to change is turning off hard limits.
Select that tool and click somewhere on the page - the laser should go there.
