I just installed the latest update. I did not change any setting from the previous version. Now after every cut, every engraving the laser moves diagonal towards bottom left for about 15 mm… 2 secs, (sometimes up to 6 seconds travel before it goes back to burning). When engraving 200 + lines I loose 400 seconds of work time. Just annoyed at this useless move which was not there before. Any idea what the cause can be? Made a clip but can’t upload it here.
Now a simple 1.5 min project to engrave takes me 15 minutes.
thanks
Also, Using current position as a start, I frame the work which is perfect, I start the project and it sometimes just runs out of bounds or flys away across the board.
Can I revert to old version easy??
Sorry better at woodworking than running the machine and figuring out the why’s of electronics
I can second this, I had the same effect. Though for me, the laser moved fully to the front-left, touching the limit switches and crashing the job due to the hard limits. I even exported the gcode files and the commands to move front-left are included there.
I did a clean install and the issue was solved (I think, I have to check again). I remove the LB preferences folder before installing again.
Thanks, should have done that before updating, although every time Updated before all my setting were as the last version. Thought this time would be the same. They seemed the same so either bug in program or something happened that I am not aware of.
Likely not - but after you open with the new version, you get defaults for the new values that may interfere with older versions. Normally it shouldn’t, but you never know. Better safe than sorry when it comes to a working configuration is my motto.
Can you confirm this went away when you re-created your LB config from scratch in 2.0?
Do you still happen to have your previous config available, so I can try and fix the upgrade path that added these unwanted moves?
to be honest I am not the best at programming. I found the pref folder and copied it to my desktop then deleted from the original folder and just re-installed. So all I have in the backup folder are the files I copied as I didn’t know about the config export. I will fire up LB and see what is in there.
I will paste the $$ here if that is what you mean or need?
Ah, if you don’t feel comfortable doing extra steps, I’m happy if the fix was to just re-create the preferences folder.
If there’s nothing specifically private in it, we would appreciate a copy of it (you can email it to support@lightburnsoftware.com if you don’t want the whole world to have access to it), and if you can include your current preferences bundle (File->Bundles->export bundle) that would also be appreciated.
