Good day! I am using a Foxalien Masuter Pro with the expansion kit (4080). I have used it before for laser cutting in Lightburn and struggled with directions of movement and homing. I somehow worked it out for that purpose. ( Foxalien GRBL wrong Coordinates ) Now I want to start with milling and tr…

[image] workingclass: Now I want to start with milling and tried Millmage If it works in Lightburn, it should translate directly to MillMage. Make the Origin is set correctly in MillMage. [image] workingclass: tried homing to front left as well as the others Stick with front left if y…

From your other Topic: [image] Foxalien GRBL wrong Coordinates Since you are also intending to use Millmage, I’d recommend you not bother with trying to turn the coordinates inside out for LightBurn. Keep the natural setting for your negative coordinate machine - which is device origin to back r…

I am not at the machine for some days. Of course I “messed with the GRBL settings” as noone had a better idea and it was the only way to get it running for laser cutting. And as NicolasL in the other topic suggested, the work area in Lightburn is in the negative quadrant (-/-). In both programs the…

[image] workingclass: post the $$ settings of the console. Then I’ll try it in Millmage and give detailed behaviour of the machine Excellent. Starting from a known status will make it easier to troubleshoot.

[image] workingclass: evident that one must choose a position for the origin of coordinates That is chosen for you if you have Home switches. If you don’t like that, you can move the origin. But then you have to know what you are doing to the coordinate system.

So I have the CNC router connected to my computer and run the programs in virtual machines. For LB I use the older version of Windows 10, for MM I use Windows 11. So I just choose which of the virtual machines uses the CNC machine. I have first tried Lightburn, works perfectly: Machine homes to fr…

Thank you for this info. It will absolutely help. Hopefully somebody will jump in and either confirm or blast me for what I am going to say next… Maybe Lightburn has been wrong all along? In other words, flip the X and Y directions ($3 using the Machine Settings window) and turn on the CNC switch …

Some news: I have played around again and found a good setting (at least for the first trials of jogging in Lightburn AND Millmage) There is just one big trap in MILLMAGE (for Lightburn it wouldn’t make any difference): It apparently sets the soft limits (or CNC origin?) to the point where it is l…

[image] workingclass: My settings: CNC ON (in Lightburn) Origin Right rear (in Lightburn) Origin left front (in Millmage) That looks good for LightBurn after setting $3 back to what it was, but the machine origin should be rear right in MillMage also - that should help with your jogging is…

Did you follow that answer or messed with the GRBL settings?
