after setting origin, when I try to Frame, the laser moves down a few inches and stops or moves down and right, then stops. I’m able to jog up and down, Ive checked connections between gantry and motor, installed new USB cord. i installed new cord because I kept losing connection yesterday. I’m no technofile but I’ve found Lightburn to be relatively intuitive to operate up until this. What am I missing?
If you’re new to lasers and LightBurn I suggest you work in Absolute Coords as the Start From mode in Laser window.
Then follow these conditions:
- home the laser before every session
- never more the laser head by hand. Use the jogging controls exclusively
- don’t ignore any warning messages
With Absolute Coords you won’t need to set Origin.
Can you try this. What are the results?
I’ll be darned! This does bring up another question: the directional buttons move the laser too little or too far. How do I center more precisely?
I believe I’ve figured it out-thanks for your help. Mea Culpa: A friend who has been doing this for some time showed me by placing the laser in position manually
Seriously-I’ve never found a forum to be more helpful than this one.
