Problem occurred when trying to calibrate camera alignment. All software is latest edition and the machine frames properly and in location. When the play button is activated the laser goes to home position and tries to fire up. It even does it when you just try to engrave a simple rectangle.
You wouldn’t happen to be working in inches would you?
No it’s in mm
What setting are you using for work origin? Are you using absolute coordinates? You’ll need to home first before doing so. I’ve never used a camera with Lightburn, sadly. So I can’t help much there, but if you could screenshot your settings and maybe upload a test gcode file, that might help determine why it’s running to the corner.
I am using absolute coordinates. I home before every attempt. I will screenshot settings but the g code file I will need help with.
Which settings do you need to see?
To export gcode files, use the “save gcode” button and then upload them here.
Your device settings, the basic and gcode tabs.

The rectangle does the same thing as camera test and goes home when you hit start. I hope all info sent was correct.
Nothing inherently sticks out to me, except maybe using the crosshair offset along with absolute coords. I wonder if your work origin is in a random place.
In the console, run $H then G92X0Y0. That should reset your work origin to the homed position.
I tried the G codes and the laser still goes home. I also shut off the crosshair offset.
Try running this rectangle and see what it does.

It’s just a light modification of the rectangle you sent. Download and click the “run gcode” button in Lightburn and select the file.
