First I entered $#
Then I test fired the laser using FIRE button in the MOVE window
Lastly I held SHIFT then hit FRAME
All of that is captured in the console photo in that order
The G54 offset has you working in a -50,-50 starting position it looks like. It looks like you are using âUser Originâ as your Start From. Do you get strange position data or odd behaviors the way youâre currently working?
You can remove the offset by issuing this in Console:
G2 L10 P1 X0 Y0
This will enable use of machine position rather than working position:
$10=1
However, if youâre built a workflow thatâs somehow depending on the offset changing these two could throw you off. However, Iâm assuming right now that youâre unable to use Absolute Coords and Iâm surprised that User Origin is working for you.
As for the laser firing on frame, the Console output indicates definitively that the laser is not being commanded to fire the laser during framing. So itâs not a hardware issue. So either what youâre doing is not triggering the right commands or LB is not interpreting the actions correctly and is not sending the right commands to the laser.
Which shift key are you using? And do you have a normal US keyboard?
Yes the shift key works fine for all other operations . Thank you I will get rid of the offset . Yes I set my origin manually I thought thats what it was meant to do in USER ORIGIN . Its simpler for me to do it that way beings I have no limit switches .
Yeah. This works fine. Disabling the offset shouldnât pose any issue in that case. Your laser should set 0,0 to wherever the laser head is at power-on.
I canât get my head around why this wouldnât be working then. Very odd.
I cannot thank you enough for your help in this matter. Do you just do this to help people ? I have sent an email to customer support and have referenced them to this thread. Hopefully they have an answer in any case youhave saved me much time.
Yeah, primarily trying to contribute to the community and staying educated on LightBurn and laser platforms generally.
Let us know if you get this sorted. Itâs possible that doing a clean refresh of your prefs may resolve it but thatâs generally not something you should ever have to do.
Ok the tech from Lightburn thinks the problem with the FRAMING FUNCTION WITH LASER is not in the software but in my laptop keyboard . I am not sure because the shift key works fine for every other function . That being said I do not doubt the problem is in my laptop. berainlb went far and above trying to resolve this issue a huge Thanks goes out to him . The Lightburn Tech worked very hard with me as well outstanding service ! So my next step is to find another computer and try it . Thank you to all who contributed to this thread .
