I am getting fed up with LB when using Rotary. Every time i go to use it nothing but problems. Never had any issues until the last update. I laser engraved a baseball bat weeks ago. Now I have issues with controls in reverse., not homing or framing I figures out homing, but Now I can’t get any X or Y movement. Tried $3= 1,2,3 none make difference. Once it homes no functions work even when it says READY.
When you have an issue, do not go changing GRBL parameters hoping it will work. Parameter $3 controls the Jog direction. Lightburn does not change GRBL parameters unless you tell it to do so.
If you can Home, then the X and Y are working. By changing $3, you might be telling it to go in the wrong direction, and generating an alarm. Use the Machine Settings window so you can set $3 for X, Y, and Z if you have it, ONE AT A TIME. Fix Xtravel, then Ytravel, then save a copy of your settings when you get it sorted out.
If you need more help with this, come back and let us know.
I finally got all the functions working. But When I try to engrave text on the bat it engraves mirror, even the function is not on . I can use mirror and the text on the screw will show it but the text will burned correctly. I am not sure how to correct it.
