Fox Alien Mastur Pro not recognizing Home as origin

Just wondering if anyone reading this thread has any suggestions also.

Would reinstalling Lightburn be the best option?

Been a bit busy sorry.

Close Lightburn.
Unplug laser USB jack.
Start Lightburn and disable Z options and Auto-home on startup.

Enable Show all on Lightburn Console window.

Connect your laser to your Mac with a good USB cable and turn it on.

Scroll back in Console window and copy/paste here all the output.

No Worries at all! I thought maybe you were just as stumped as I am.

I did what you asked me to do here is what I got.

On one of the previous messages you had me click the CNC machine button. If I turn it off and turn it on again it works and goes to the right coordinates. I have to do this every time I run a project.

I also tried uninstalling the laser and reinstalling it. That didn’t work.

What Lightburn version are you using?

I downloaded the latest version I think its 1.70

When you use Candle in CNC mode, do things work well?
Can you install a lower version on another computer but without exporting/importing the settings just to test?

I havent used it as a CNC machine, just the laser. I only have the one computer to try another update. I did change my origin point (First picture) to catty corner (second picture) from original and it operates normal with a start point in the bottom left even though its in the top right. I downloaded the latest software and got a new warning on start up (third picture).

Let me know your thoughts.

By the way thank you for all your help!!

Thanks we’re here to learn teach and help.

Before the error did the laser head move to near the home switches?
.
Few things to check:
1 - Type $$ and check $130 $131 $132
2 - Before connecting jog your laser by hand to near the home switches XYZ then connect (with auto-home still enabled)
3 - Laser disconnected disable auto-home jog your laser by hand farther away from home switches XYZ them type inthis order
$HX enter and wait to home X axis, $HZ wait for Z, $HY wait for Y.
.
Report back.
