Laser does not move

[Dave1964 (DAVID W NELSON)]

Normally, when I first turn on the laser, the head returns to the lower-left corner. It is not doing that. Here are my settings.

This is with the “Auto-home on start up”:

What device settings are you using?

For my CO2 laser the homing is controlled by the Ruida controller.

For the Ortur laser master 2, which uses the GRBL controller the homing is controlled by LightBurn - Click on the Device Settings Icon (crossed spanner/screwdriver) which launches the settings box. On the right of the box under other options, is the option “Auto-home on startup” it needs to be green. If its brown click on it to change it to green.

EXCELLENT! Thank you so very much! I hadn’t used the laser in a couple of months, and forgot about that! Thanks again!

[Dave1964 (DAVID W NELSON)]

Again, it’s not working! I’ve got everything set up as you recommended. This is what I get: Target buffer size found
ok
Homing
Then, where the laser tells how far it’s gone, stays a solid green all the way across - “Homing” - nothing moves.

My Ortur used to return to the starting point when turned on. It does not. This is the message I get: error:9 G-code locked out during alarm or jog state.

Have you explored the following:

Ortur Laser Master 2: No X/Y Movement or Homing

Just got the Laser Master 2. Assembly and setup was easy. When trying to Home it and start things up, I’m having problems: Waiting for connection... error:9 Homing ALARM:8 ok Ortur Laser Ready! Grbl 1.1f ['$' for help] [MSG:Check Limits] [MSG:'$H'|'$X' to unlock] [MSG:Caution: Unlocked] ok So I’m not sure what’s happening. I’ve looked up GRBL error:9 and ALARM:8. “error:9” : _(“G-code locked out during alarm or jog state”), Ok, that make sense that it won’t do anything in an alarm state. …

Or explore all of these search results. Maybe some help there.

[Dave1964 (DAVID W NELSON)]

That doesn’t make ANY sense to me. My laser worked fine in the past, now it just WON’T WORK.

You may want to contact Ortur for assistance. @OrturTech is on this forum.

Laser wants to move but not fire

Just to be clear, LightBurn is software. We do not make the Ortur or any other laser hardware. LightBurn makes software to help make lasing easier and more enjoyable. We are here to help with the software and do offer support for the hardware when we can, but we do not make it. @OrturTech should be able to offer you the best instructions to get your hardware working.

Greetings Dave

Unplug usb, power only
Power on machine. any motion?
Check your power adapter, is showing green LED?

Can you send me a image of your connections using this image as guide please?

[Dave1964 (DAVID W NELSON)]

Here they are. I reduced them in pixel size just in case. I’ve never touched them since I assembled it. Again, I give it power, turn it on, and the head does not move.
