Tangent question, I paid & activated LightBurn today after trial expired. I’m on latest version.
Prior to license my D1 Pro laser was configured and running smooth. After, my head stutters, jumps, and does not engrave as it did prior.
Doesn’t seem like it would be a license activation issue but fact is this is exactly when the problems started. I loaded XCS with the same art and it engraved flawlessly. Traditional root cause analysis, rebooting, closing apps, reloading, restarting, etc.Head keeps banging and stuttering left to right.
That said, there were two back to back updates specific to GRBL and I wonder if critical settings or $ strings were changed or deleted. Is there any remnant from previous installs to compare to?
I’ve checked machine settings…set to mm/sec…which match my layer settings of mm/sec… Machine top speed is rated at 400mm/sec and I’m attempting to run 350mm/sec, something that has worked flawlessly for the last month.
I will say that the banging, jittering, and jumping reminds me of the first day I setup this machine and speed settings didn’t match layer burn settings…Mix up mm/min with mm/sec and the laser attempts to run 60x faster than it’s designed to run. This caused my X-axis to be maxed out 100% of the time and head slammed back and forth and jumped teeth.
So, I’ve checked these settings and they match each other. mm/sec to mm/sec, however I feel there may be machine code, $ string, or other configuration that I’m not familiar with that may have been changed during the software update error and fix across 2 versions.
Where should I look and what do I compare it to?
