I cannot seem to get my Comgrow Congo z1 20w to work with Lightburn. The laser Homes properly, moves about the workspace properly (the up and down arrows are reversed but that’s easy to deal with) and it rames the image properly. When I start thee job, the laser moves the the start position, fires the laser for a half a second and then stops.
I’ve tried the $33=1, and that did not work. I’ve adjusted the baud rate with DTR signal toggled on and off for all baud rate options. My machine only responds at 230,400.
The Laser seems to function fine with laserGRBL.
Please help. I like your software and don’t want to have to learn am entirely different program.
Why deal with this when it can be addressed? Most likely this is caused by a bad machine origin setting. in Edit->Device Settings make sure that origin is set to bottom-left dot.
What was this anticipated to change? What was the previous value?
Can you provide the following:
Full screenshot of LightBurn with your design loaded and ready to burn.

Run the job, then capture any messages in Console and return here.
Go to File->Save gcode, save the file with .txt extension, and upload here.
The up down arrows were fixed by your suggestion. Thank you!
As far as the rest

I can use both operate both machines by changing the com. The xTool D1 works fine. The Comgrow seems to do everything except the actual job. The “fire” button on the “move” window also works just fine, as well as the laser being on while framing the image.
Here is the console window, upon initial start up, with the xTool (com7) first, then swapping to the Comgrow (com8).

The combination of com8 and Comgrow sends those lines of code.
The combo of com7 and Comgrow just waits for the connection. Anytime I select the xTool D1, it automatically changes to com7. If I select the Comgrow on com7, it shows this in the console window.
