Bei Richtungsauswahl in “Bewegen” verhält sich der Laser entgegengesetzt. Pfeil nach oben, Laser fährt runter. Pfeil nach links, Laser fährt nach rechts. Der 0 Punkt ist links unten und korrekt eingestellt. Laser ist ein atomstack a10.
When selecting a direction in “Move” mode, the laser behaves in the opposite way. Up arrow, laser moves down. Left arrow, laser moves right. The zero point is in the bottom left corner and is correctly set. The laser is an Atomstack A10.
You can correct the direction of each axis separately using the Machine Settings window (laser must be connected). The parameter to control the Jog direction is $3.
First, use the Save to File to save a copy of the GRBL parameters.
Hallo Mike,
I followed your description. I changed ”X direction pin invert ($3)” and the “Y direction pin invert ($3)” from false to right. The laser starts to the upper right corner as zero point. The origin zero point for the system is left down corner. Now its not possible to use the laser. I went back to the old values. The problem is still there.
thanks and best regards Helmut
This is because we are not done.
In the Console window, with the machine Homed, right-click and select Clear Console. Then enter $#. Now enter ? so we can see the work coordinate offsets and the reported machine position. Copy and paste the window contents in a Reply.
Setting up the machine has to occur in this order: [1] Home cycle, [2] Jog directions, and [3] corrdinate system. You cannot skip a step.
We will be going back to that $3 setting, but leave it as-is for now.
good morning Mike.
below the results of your recommendation.
best regards Helmut

ok
Ok, there is no offset.
Hi Mike,
to 1. Yes the laser goes to home position if it starts.
to 2. The home position is left down corner
to 3. Yes it agrees
to 4. in Home position X and Y are 0,00
to 5. Status: position reporting ($10), Value “Machine position”
Status: show buffer data ($10), Value: Switch in OFF position
Additional information:
If I set parameters for X and Y direction in the input fields of “Go to position”, the laser works correct. Only if I use the arrow field the laser works in opposite direction.
In the basic inputs of device settings the M7 is marked not M8. Onl then the Air Assist works correctly.

All your answers are good, Home is okay, Lightburn set, and reporting machine position 0,0 when Homed.
That leaves the Jog direction being backwards. Jog the laser module to about the center of the machine. Toggle the $3 parameter for Xaxis, then see if it Jogs left and right properly.
If that works, then do the same for the $3 parameter on Yaxis. If that is correct, then do a Save to File to save your current parameters.
If you get this far, then select Absolute Coords in the Laser window. Load this Lughtburn file and see if it Frames properly.
Basic Frame Test.lbrn2 (9.6 KB)
The lower left corner of the bread slice is about 2” (100mm) from the corner of your Lightburn grid. If this is where you see it, and both the red and green squares are at the 0,0 corner, then try to Frame it. If that works, run it (power set @ 5%). Let us know what you see.
Hallo Mike,
I found the mistake. In the picture in your last answer I saw that the switch of “Continuous Jog” was in ON position. That was the difference to my setting. Here it was in OFF position. If I changed from OFF to ON the laser reacts correct.
The problem is solved.
Many thanks to you for your really quick, qualified and helpfull support.
Best regards

The jogging direction should be the same with and without “Continuous Jog” enabled.
I’ve seen the Jog buttons working in the opposite direction, if $J Continuous was enabled.
The solution in most cases is to make sure the Origin in the Device Settings is correct.
On the Atomstack A10, this should be bottom left.
Also, disable both “CNC Machine” and “Machine Coordinates” options. If these were enabled, it would explain the situation.
Please follow through with what @Aaron.F posted. This is another thing to add to my toolbox.
Hi Aaron,
I try to explain what I did after the last email from Mike.
After that I switched it to OFF again. Laser reaction is ok. You are right: The jogging direction is the same with and without “Continuous Jog” enabled.
The “CNC Machine” and the “Machine Coordinates” were disabled the whole time. The situation was as shown in your picture.
I can’t explain, but after changing the ON/OFF position of “Continuous Jog” the system reacts correctly till now.
I hope the information helps you a little bit.
Thank you very much for Mike’s and your support.
best regards Helmut
