I have read so many of your forums but you don’t give the answer
How do I turn off the homing function?
I don’t have stoppers installed on my CNC, so homing is worse than useless if messes up my manual calibrations,
I have to manually adjust my parameters and if I bump homing by accident (and frame, what ever that does) LightBurn sends my machine to the end and keeps forcing the Stepper motors to keep trying to push past its physical limits (passed the Edge of the CNC Frame)
and as far as I can tell there is no ‘Force Stop’ button in your software either
PS: I would like if possible to have and alternative ‘home’ like function and it takes me to X=0,Y=0,Z=0
-(can this be done by macro? if so what is the code)
What do you mean by “turn off”? The homing function in LightBurn just sends the command. Your controller will have homing enabled or not, and if it’s not enabled, it won’t do anything when the homing command is received.
Type $22=0 in the console and press enter and that will disable homing in GRBL.
A macro command like G0 X0 Y0 would work to send the controller to the zero point, but that point will be wherever the controller thinks zero is - it will be the location of the gantry when you first power up the controller if you don’t home the machine.
