There are no errors in your console output. Everything is fine there. Make sure you didn’t mix homing and origin. Those are different. Did you click on the small house icon?

3

yes sir i did click the small house icon left side where the go to origin button staying

Does grblHAL use different command for homing? I don’t see a $h anywhere.

I have “home on connect” enabled and I’ve never looked at the console, so I don’t know for sure LB sends the command on connection or if it’s saved in the firmware.

algo laser default home is left front corner and when i draw a rectangular and hit the frame it frames and when i hit the home button it did not come back to left front corner it just make this home movement where the rectangular framed and if i hit one more time home button it moves x and y axes slightly up in every single time till i reach the right back corner and even if i hit more home button it try to push the laser head and hit the end stops and make this ugly voice that belts are pushing the laser head.

Confirm that your device is configured as a GRBL device by pushing Devices button in Laser window, then clicking on the name of your laser. What does it show at the bottom of the window?

I would first of all update your firmware your version is slightly older
This means, as the machine is switchless your TMC2209 settings might be a bit wacky.

latest firmware:

Couple questions
a) did you tighten the X belt by using the screw right
b) any chance you could move head to center, power machine and record the homing cycle in video?

thank you so much for your concern sir. I did enjoyed the abilities of your product which after i had another brand laser when i saw in Lousiana hobby guy Youtube channel and see the seller in Turkiye i did not even hesitate and jumped on it. i added camera and honeycomb by other brands and really want to elevate my crafts with this beast.

I think this is just the sensor that detects the spike in amps not being able to figureout what is what

You can try to type in console
$RST=*
press enter: Then try homg again but i think a setting needs changing
