Hello, I’m a newbie, I have been using Lightburn for a couple of weeks, everything was working just fine. This morning though when I tell it to frame the motor turns on like its moving but its stuck. I have to click stop on the controllers to turn it off. My image is inbounds, I even decreased the size of it and physically moved my laser to the center of the machine, still same results. But, I am able to run LaserGRBL and everything runs fine. I’m stuck not sure what happened. I have only had the laser for a few months. All help is appreciated, Thank You.
This is what is on my console

I don’t see any offset configured. It seems you have auto-home on startup configured in Device Settings but your laser is not configured to home.
Disable auto-home on startup in Edit->Device Settings.
Can you see if that addresses your issue? It’s unclear what else is wrong. If this doesn’t resolve the issue can you describe in as much detail as possible the circumstances when you experience the issue?
I added a video link, thought it might be easier to show then explain. I did disable the auto-home on startup. I’ve tried using a saved file and even imported a new file. I even reinstalled Lightburn. I have no idea what happened, I don’t recall clicking anything, but I could have, don’t know. Again I appreciate all the help, Thank You. I really enjoy using Lightburn over LaserGRBL.
I followed the steps and in the Move Window, the coordinates state X0 Y0 Z0 U0
When I try to use the jogging controls the motor sounds like it turns on, but it will not move like its jammed. It only stops when I click the stop button, same as when I click Frame or Start. So I am not able to do steps 4-7 since it will not move.

Your frame speed in LaserGRBL is quite low (1000 mm/min) and the default in LightBurn is higher than that, so you could try reducing that speed in LightBurn to see if that helps. Change the Speed value in the ‘Move’ window to 1000 mm/min (or 17 mm/sec).
