Job stops part way through

I have an Atom Stack A10 Pro and have been using Light Burn for about two years now, I was burning an image onto a flasks for a farewell gift for some of my soldiers in my charge, but for some reason, the laser has stopped mid-job twice now. I have done this same design several times in the past but the only change I have made in hardware/setup/software/file is updating light burn. When it stops the console just starts filling with jibberish and symbols. I have already checked and ensured the machine didn’t get caught on anything. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Sounds your controller crashes
Did you try - as a diagnostic test - to unplug your laser head cable and run the same project like that. Just motions.
Will it crash too?

I tried to line the laser over a flask to run unplugged and it started to crash/freeze even when just clicking the frame button requiring a hard reboot to restore functionality, I think i will try reverting to a previous version next.

You could but. triple check a few things
a) Edit _> settings
boud rate?
b) Devices → double check if you are on GRBL


I am using GRBL, but I have never touched the Baud Rate before since I have always used the default settings for the most part.

all looks fairly standard. so unless you got a bad usb cable (or have somehting doing random electric noise nearby) it should just work

I am really not sure how upgrading could have caused the problem but reverting is fairly straight forward

Not to jump on someone’s elses thread, but I have a slightly different problem than this. Same issue - engraving stops right in the middle of project. Just stops. I get no error message.
I’m using the trial version of Lightburn (yes newbie here). Project is an image 5x5.
Using Aufero Laser.
Thank you
