Can you tell us which “the laser cutter” you have? If the machine does not have limit switches on it, you will not be able to use homing. You should also edit the ‘Machines’ part of your user profile here on the forum to say what kind of laser and controller you’re using so we can just look, and not have to ask.

Most likely your laser does not have limit switches, but you’ve told LightBurn to home the machine when it connects. Click the ‘Devices’ button, double-click the laser in the list, then click ‘Next’ until you get to the page with the origin corner setting. Turn off ‘Auto-home on startup’ there, and that will stop the error.

You will need to manually home the laser. Read here, the last paragraph, where it talks about machines without homing switches: [https://lightburnsoftware.github.io/NewDocs/CommonGrblSetups.html](https://lightburnsoftware.github.io/NewDocs/CommonGrblSetups.html)

Yes, the one in the device settings was added in the last release, but wasn’t fully hooked up. It’s been fixed already for the next release.

Can you go to Help \> Enable Debug Logging (at the bottom of the help menu).

Try running your file again, and if you get the ‘Connection Lost’ message again, post the debug log here. It will be a file stored in your ‘Documents’ folder called LightBurnLog.txt.

That shouldn’t be necessary because of the way LightBurn communicates with the device. It simply looks like Windows dropped the connection to the laser, as there was no error reported. Check the wiring and the USB cable to make sure it’s secure - if it’s loose, that could cause a disconnection.

In the Window menu, click ‘Reset to default layout’, or re-start LightBurn, but hold the Shift key while you launch it.

i installed the update but now i lost the 2 new controls  
i can only light the crosshair when i switch on lasermodule off  
the risk is that i lose my original position when i press the button on the laser module  
can you make a switch in move screen to turn the crosshair on / of without touching the laser module  
do you have some sort of release notice wher i can read what changes were made  
regards
