Changing X Directions makes the Text Backwards in Lightburn Material Test

LightBurn Software Questions
1

I am using GRBL1.1 on a Viking CNC adapter for the G540 CNC controller.
I have not set up homing as of yet, but it is meant to be homed to the rear left.
I can swap the direction in GRBL so all the axis move as I think they should but any text is backward. For the text to come out correct the laser moves toward the X homing switch instead of away from it. The Y axis is working as it should.

I am wondering if I am missing something in the Lightburn settings?

Thank you for your time and insight.

If you can’t home, do you know what quadrant it operates in?

You need to tell Lightburn the machines origin. If that’s not correct, then it won’t do as expected.

I suggest you put home switches on it, it’s well worth it.

Here’s a link to setting up a grbl machine with no home switches. It may help…
