I have an Atomstack A24 Ultra 24v diode laser using GLBR-LPC controller and running Lightburn version 1.7.06 on Windows 10 laptop. This configuration works fine with no issues. My working area is 365mm x 305mm (X and Y).
I have just purchased an Atomstack R5 Conveyor Feeder to extend my work height from 305mm to 800mm on the Y axis. So far, my only issue is any command from given to the laser moves the conveyor table in the wrong Y direction.
Is there anyway in Lightburn to switch the direction of the Y axis?
Additional information about the setup: The A24 Ultra has a Y-axis Switch to change between Normal and Accessory mode. When the switch is set to Accessory mode, the Laser head moves to the center of the normal Y direction travel and is locked. The bed moves back and forth when any Y command is sent to the laser. The A24Ultra laser head only moves in the X direction.
I believe if you go the the Edit Menu> Machine settings there is an option to invert the Axes individually. Always back up the settings beforehand in case you mess things up.
You will need to scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Outputs Setup, then a confirmation that you want to.
I finally figured out what my problem was. Now I feel stupid that I didn’t see what was happening sooner. Once I put a board on the conveyor bed and watched what was happening while the bed moved, it was now clear that the bed had to move in the opposite direction that I want to move on the Lightburn working grid. With the Y axis of the laser cutter head fixed, to work higher on your piece of wood, the bed had to move in the -Y direction. So, when working in the Lightburn design grid you need to member that the wood is moving, not the laser head. As an example, if you wanted to move along the +Y axis in your design grid, you would have to select the down arrow from the Move menu, because the bed must move down to get you higher in your design area grid. Confusing, but it all works.
