Foxalien CL 4X4 issue

I’ve been using lightburn with my Foxalien CL 4X4 for a while now, but try as I might I can’t set my Home / zero to bottom left (my machine’s default) whenever I start a project, it always says that my material is out of bounds? I manually set the origin point and end point the same, but when the job finishes the machine moves to the bottom and crashes on the limit switch. Anyone had this? It’s weird and annoying.

Do you have this switch, CNC machine, enabled in Device Settings?

I did try this, but nothing seemed to change. Thought I’d figured it out when I saw this button. Do you need to restart lightburn after checking the button? I don’t think I tried that.

Can you send a screenshot of your devices window, and send $$ in the Console and copy+paste the response it prints here?

You likely have your origin corner set to the wrong corner of the machine. The CNC machine switch allows LightBurn to send out negative coordinates - most lasers are only positive coordinate systems.

Thats the quadrant I in the above image. The CNC machine switch allows for negative coordinates to work.

I will do that tomorrow evening after work, thank you for your help and advice so far :+1:
