Reinstall rarely solves these issues. Make sure you disconnect from laserGRBL. The Com port can only talk to one item. Then check the dropdown next to your laser name in the laser panel and select a com port.
Come on, I know better than that. I never run the two programs at the same time.
Powered everything back up and it connected and homed. Then I tried to click Origin to get it to go to my center point and it did nothing.
Removed + Readded the profile and it started shooting gibberish at me. Adjusted baud rate and it cleared up and homed. But can’t do anything other than home
Update: LaserGRBL is working fine. I must have broke something within Lightburn. Which I don’t mind using LaserGRBL, but Lightburn is way friendlier
Shut down Lightburn then restart and connect to the laser. Home it, then go to move window, click get position. It should read 0,0. Try moving it with the arrow keys. If it errors, post the output of the Console window. Not sure if I can help with that, but maybe.
Also post a screenshot (not a phone pic please) of your entire Lightburn window with the laser panel and move panels showing.
No need. This particular problem is an ID10T error.
When I removed the previous profile to redo, I forgot that I have to set my Origin back up.
Good deal. Keep moving forward.
It’s different, but I wouldn’t call it good yet.
It looks like the farther away from 0 you are the worse it gets. Maybe it’s just how it looks in the picture. There’s still a little play somewhere.
It definitely is better. The first pic in the thread though, you weren’t in fill mode on the 1863. I still say you have some slop. After you get all the slop out, the next thing you need to do is work on scanning offset adjustment to clean up the edges of the engraving.
Ultimately it’s when you’re happy with the results that matters.

Tim, a pleasure seeing a true teacher, teach! I wonder what you do professionally…
Thank you for the kind words.
As little as possible, LOL. I retired from Auto Repair a couple years ago. To occupy my time I do laser engraving, odds and ends and I have a Real Estate License.
