Can't burn image files

[jpamperin (John Pamperin)]

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue burning image files, which I think might be related to a software upgrade in Lightburn. I am currently using a Ortur Laser Master 2 pro on a windows laptop. I typically use the cut functions when I use my laser, and rarely use images. When I first started out playing with my laser I did make a few image keychains, but haven’t done so in a year. One of the people I made a keychain for asked me to burn another one as her old one broke with use. I loaded up my original file (I think I made it with a lightburn version earlier than 1.0), and it won’t burn. I keep getting alarm 2 messages. I’ve reviewed the forums, checked my settings and even reset my grbl to factory in case something was messed up inadvertently, but I still get the same message. Can someone check my settings and tell me what (obvious!!) thing I am missing?

My error message is as follows:

How are you aligning your laser?

Your “Start from” mode is set to “Current Position”. Are you ever moving the laser head by hand? If so, avoid doing that. Use jogging controls only. You will also need sufficient clearance from laser head to frame if you’re using Current Position.

Use Absolute Coords to not have to worry about that.

I typically start in the lower left corner. I had some jobs where I had to align it with the jogging controls, so I used the current position, but never changed it back. I can try to revert back to absolute to see if that works

It worked! Knew it was going to be something dumb and obvious. Thanks for your help!
