Hello all.
I had started this laser engraving hobby with a Tusy 10w diodo laser, I had enjoy it for so long till last year, till it die. I now got a Longer B1 20w 30w 40w Diodo laser and I am having trouble with error 22 and grbl to longer B1. Can someone help me with this please?
What were you doing to create this error? Were you using the Console window?,
I don’t know what that is, but I went on Lightburn to try to laser out a craft cardboard to do my sign for my business sign, and when I did it the machine stop, and the red alert was going off on my machine and the Lightburn was telling me error 22.
but as for GRBL it is going good with my longer B1, however when I try to switch to Longer B1 20w it only stopped and read to please reset and switch to GRBL. I don’t have a problem with GRBL. But it only shows error 22 when it start the job and stop at the beginning.
I use a ASUS Windows laptop? It get the job done. It is like a gaming laptop I use for work.
Error 22 says a motion was commanded, but a feed rate had not been set. The only normal way to create this error is to enter a Move command in the Console window without including a feed rate.
Did your Longer laser come with a memory device that had an .LBDEV file on it?
If it did not, there some checks we can make.
I did not see it in the flashdrive so I don’t think I have it.
I do not know if your machine is one of those that requires it. It is a configuration file, maybe something like .lbdev, provided by the manufacturer.
Okay, we do this the hard way…
Create a small rectangle and confirm it causes the Error 22 alarm. Then click on the Save GCode button and save the file as Error22-DE.txt, then attach it to your reply.
I (we) will examine the GCode commands in the file to see if something is strange, or if is okay but your controller does not like it.
Okay I will try to do that, by Monday or Tuesday cause I have a trip I have to go to.

This is my first time doing this so I was wondering if it is any good?
; LightBurn 1.3.00
; GRBL-M3 (1.1e or earlier) device profile, absolute coords
Why did you use the GRBL-M3 device type. That is for earlier versions of GRBL and I am pretty sure you have a 32 bit board in the laser.
Add a second Device manually, but select GRBL only. Test to see if this makes a difference.

A feed is commanded with the motion command, so an Error 22 should not be generated. It may be caused by having the wrong GRBL dialect being used, where Fnnnn is not modal (remembered).
So do I have to create GRBL-M3? I have longer B1 20w 30w and 40w on Lightburn I am so sorry I am kinda new to this.
I made a new GRBL and I made it for to only be link up to the cord. Will that be okay?
Yes, it is okay. It will hurt nothing to have extra “Devices” to choose from. It can be identical to the original, except the new one should say “GRBL” instead of “GRBL-M3”. If the new one does not solve your problem, you can select the old one instead.
Are you using a connection method other than USB?
Yes some of my work is USB connected.

I am just senting this to you to see, if I did something wrong?
I think I am only using USB, Will that be a problem?
The new GRBL is running smoothly and so far doing really good. ^-^ Thank you so much, can I keep you in mind if anything else happen?
