I’ve just bought a second hand mira 5, got it home, did a few test cuts and then for some reason decided to look around the menu on the machine. Clicked on the autofocus button just to see what was inside the menu and the machine went crazy. I pressed the reset button (quite a few times) and now I have a machine in which the x,y and z axis’s don’t work properly and I have no idea what the settings were before hand.
When I turn it on it tries to home itself to the front right (should be back right) but it goes too far on the y axis and slams into the front several times before it goes through a reset cycle. When it resets itself it goes really slowly before finishing. it’s like it hasn’t been calibrated and all the numbers in the settings are wrong.
Does anybody have a copy of the Mira 5 settings for the Ruida 644XG controller that I can import from lightburn.
Danny Martinez or one of his team should be able to get you the correct settings for the machine. It can’t home in the direction it’s going in because there’s no switch on that side, and that’s why it’s going too far.
When you power up the machine, press the Esc key to prevent it from homing so you don’t damage it. Then go to Edit > Machine Settings in LightBurn, and unroll the ‘Vendor Settings’ section at the bottom. Be careful in there, because similar to the menus on the machine, you can change things that can do real damage.
In the ‘Y Axis Settings’ toggle the ‘Direction Polarity’ switch, then click ‘Write’ and that might get you back to normal.
Thank you Oz, In the end I spoke to the person I bought it from and thankfully they knew somebody who had the same machine and they were able to give me the lbset file, which fixed the problem. Fingers crossed I didn’t do any unseen damage to the machine while it was banging around. I’ve used it a few times and it seems too be working fine.
