Intermittent problem of (Lightburn not responding) when framing on the rotary, usually on the last frame. if I click wait I eventually get Rotary Framing not responding and then a note LightBurn Has crashed.
Have to go into Task Manager to shut Lightburn down.

Ive updated Lightburn to the latest version. Has done it with old and new version. Running a PC
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (3.80 GHz)

32.0 GB (31.3 GB usable)

AMD Radeon™ Graphics (496 MB)

96 GB of 932 GB used

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 11 Pro

I just framed 5 times through the art work on the rotary the last time on the end frame I heard a very faint chirp and it locked up again.

It has also crashed mid engrave. I have zero confidence using this laser.

I also have a fiber and a UV running Lightburn and rock solid.

Playing with it some more. When playing with Rotary Center off set. It lags and is delayed. Sometimes it works super fast as it should. Sometimes I have to wait 20 seconds for the change to be made.

Rotary Jog button is intermittent if it works or not. in both directions. (Tried a different rotary).

Software is now locked in Framing mode. Have to Use device manager to shut down Software.

Hi Brent, I had a lockup using the rotary on my Galvo yesterday, did a quick pause / resume while engraving and had to force quit lightburn to get it back going. I have only managed to repeat this behaviour once, while deliberately trying. I can however lock the system up by pausing the job, then hitting the frame button. I will continue to test and see if I can reliably reproduce the issue. I am not seeing the lagging or normal issue with the framing you are seeing (I just tested with 6 segments) Running Lightburn 2.2.01

Cheers, Jayson

Thank you for the reply. I literally spent 8 hours trouble shooting this. Tried everything possible. I finally backed up all my laser settings. Unlicensed my lightburn and uninstalled. Rebooted the PC, redownloaded the newest version of lightburn. Reinstalled the driver. And reloaded all my laser settings. Right out the gate everything started working. But I am not very confident of this system at the moment . I was able to laser grave three cups and I was able to get my job done. I will continue to use it as the problem was intermittent at the start . If I have any more issues I will respond to this thread.
