Head mounted camera calibration bug

Hi, I’m running Lightburn v1.4.00 and am playing with different camera setups. I’ve just noticed that when performing the head mounted camera calibration there is a bug. Once the laser target has been etched onto the surface, we should use the arrows to job the gantry with the laser head, so it is more or less over the target. Unfortunately, every arrow just increses the Y axis location by about 10cm or so - nothing decreases the Y axis location, and nothing affects the X-axis location.

Can you see about putting this one on your ‘to fix’ list, or is there some trick here that I’m missing? I would love to be able to redirect the gantry position via a workaround, but the dialogue is modal and will not let me push a command directly to the controller.

Thank you!

Thanks for reporting this. You have a novel engraver. I’d like to confirm a few details so I can accurately escalate this.

In the Move window in LightBurn, please test the Jog button behavior and confirm that the compass arrows direct the engrave head as expected.

A distance of 10-25 mm and a speed of 250/min is a good place to start.

I can confirm the jog buttons move things in the expected direction.
+/- X
+/- Y
+/- Z

All good.

I’m curious now. :slight_smile:
What was the cure for the unanticipated Y-Axis behavior?

No cure. If I use the jog buttons on ‘normal’ view, things are good. If, on the other hand, I am calibrating the head mounted camera, I am given a different set of jog buttons specific to that head mounted camera calibration process. Thsoe buttons are broken, with every button causing a y+ action.

We’re aware the calibration procedure is awkward with the head-mounted camera - that’s why it is marked as ‘beta’. Improvements are slated to be made soon.

All good - this was just feedback to throw into the pot. Overall, I’d like to say well done on being a part of such an awesome team/project/product. It feels good! (and no, I don’t say that to all the software tools)
