GoTo Not Working

On the Move tab/GoTo tab:
Whether I manually enter or select from my list makes no difference. When entering any number besides zero in the coordinate box and clicking on GoTo button the box is reset to zero and the head moves to the zero location. The Z axis as never worked. In previous versions the X and Y did work.

I’m running the 8.01 RC-03 version.
Thanks, Mark

It will help if you tell us what machine and controller software you are using.

Have you tried v0.8.02 yet?

I have a Lunyee 3018 Pro Max, it came with the controller which at the moment I don’t know what it is. If it is important maybe you can explain to me how to query for that information,

Know that the position boxes are set to zero prior to the code being sent to the controller.

No I haven’t updated to the 8.0.2 version yet.

Hope this helps.

Thannks,

When you start up the laser, look in the Console window. It may give you some hints. But I am guessing the 3018 is a CNC machine with a laser option. If so, it is likely a GRBL based controller.

Hopefully this is what you are looking for:

Monport
[VER:1.1f.20230316:]
[OPT:VMZHL,35,254]
Target buffer size found
ok

I’m using CNC Router only. No laser

Yeah, my bad for saying laser, but here there is no difference.

The v1.1f indicates it is a GRBL controller.

When you Home the machine, do you see 0,0,0 in the position boxes? For all testing that follows, please use Absolute Coords.

Do a screen capture (SHFT+WinKey+S) of the Move window so we can use it for reference.

It would be advised that you install the full release version of MillMage.

There was no 8.01 release candidate. @Gazman is correct, you should use the Production Release, or at least use the latest RC version, which is v0.8.00-RC-19 as of today.

Before reporting an issue with an RC or Beta version, you should check if a later version has been released.

I’ve updated to production version 0.8.02 now.

This is the initial position…

When I enter any value in the x or y box and then click Go To for that box the head will go to 0 if not at zero.

Thanks for your help

Here is what happens

Jog both X, Y to 10

?<Idle|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|FS:0,0|Ov:100,100,100>
Starting stream
?<Run|MPos:9.983,9.983,0.000|FS:0,0>
[MSG:Pgm End]
Stream completed in 0:01
?<Idle|MPos:10.000,10.000,0.000|FS:0,0>

After click of Go To XY button

?<Idle|MPos:10.000,10.000,0.000|FS:0,0>
Starting stream
Stream completed in 0:00
?<Idle|MPos:0.000,0.000,0.000|FS:0,0>

Please note that I am running jobs and they run well! It’s just this function is not working

I Homed my machine, then entered 10mm in X and Y boxes. I clicked the GoTo XY button and I get this screen:

I then Homed the machine again and Jogged 10mm in both X and Y, and this screen is the result:

Lastly, while viewing the last screen above, I clicked on the Go To XY button. There was no change in the display.

  1. Do you have any offset in the G54 parameter?
  2. In your second image, I see 20mm instead of 10mm. Why is that 20 there?
  3. If I did not duplicate your steps accurately, let me know where I deviated.
  4. Duplicate my steps and see if you get the same results as I did.

I am not contesting or disputing what you are getting. We just need to work together to figure out why the difference. Could be procedure, or it could be a laser that does not play nice. :grin:

That is the manual entry just before clicking on the Go To.

After the click the box resets to 0,0 and sends the head to 0,0

Mine does not do that…

Maybe this is where we should get @Rick involved. I know no setting that would to this, but there could be one.

First is to Jog to 10, 10
Second is set X and Y to the values of 20, 20
Third is to click Go To XY
What happens then:
The boxes are reset to 0, 0
Then the head moves to 0,0

The 20, 20 is lost in the replacement

Yes, I understand completely. That reset is the part I think should not be happening, but I have no idea what causes it, meaning no idea how to fix it.

It may be a couple of days before Lightburn picks it up. If we don’t let them have weekends off, they will burn out. :joy:

Wow! That’s what I was looking for… Confirmation that it works correctly on other machines.

How can I see the actual GCode that is being sent to my machine?

Job Control window, Control Mode button. The label switches to Edit Mode (so you can get back to designing) and the GCode pops up in a window on the left side.

Have fun :heart_exclamation:

That works for a job…
I was hoping to the actual GCode being sent when I click on the Go To XY
