Laser crosshairs switch off during framing

Laser: iKier K1 Pro Max 24/48W

Recently, the crosshairs (the red cross on the laser) have stopped working properly. When framing, the crosshairs simply turn off at the start and continue without them. This makes framing pretty much useless.

I suspect this issue is related to the upgrade from LightBurn 1.7.08 to 2.0.03 because the crosshairs still worked in version 1.7.08. Are there any workarounds? To the LightBurn Team: Could this issue be resolved in an upcoming release?

Thank you.

Try loading a .lbprefs from a day prior to the upgrade.

It’s because you enabled the laser on when framing option. You can only use one option, either the Red Cross pointer or the laser itself.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help, but thanks anyway.

No, the laser was not switched on during framing. I didn’t change any settings; it used to work like that before.

Show the device settings window to check.

Looks correct. Maybe toggle the “laser on when framing” setting just in case there is a glitch with it.

In fact, you have two problems ine one.

Since the begining with the Ikier, when you frame clockwize, it shutdown the crosshair.
When you frame counterclockwize, the crosshair stay active.

From Lightburn 2, Gcode is different, Lightbrun framing now clockwize.
