Laser off work space

In the console, type this command:

$RST=*
(and press enter)

Then change your ‘Start From’ setting to ‘Absolute Coords’ and things should be working correctly for you.

Please follow the instructions from Oz. However, after doing so, it’s possible that not all of your issues will be fully resolved as I’ve seen the reset not restore some of the things you’re dealing with.

Test and if problems persist plesae follow the instructions from my previous post. Instead of a photo, please copy and paste the output from the Console window into a post.

I did as you instructed. It worked for one pass. I decided to play with a longer thing to see what would happen. Now the laser stays on for literally 2.5 seconds.

This is what comes up when it stops…

Let’s get rid of that G92.

Do this after you home the machine.

This is the G Code. It will run longer now but still shuts off without completing. I did type in the G92 x0 y0 but it did not change the values to zero, but it changed the numbers,

Thank you for your help by the way!!!

Position issue is resolved. The workspace and laser are both where they should be.

There’s a regression in the offsets vs the previous correction. Are you running laserGRBL and setting origin from that program?

Run these commands in Console. Copy and paste these instead of trying to hand enter.

G59.6 X0 Y0
G92 X0 Y0

Power cycle the laser and then rerun:

Did something change between this post and the previous one or was this more information?

We are back to negative workspace again.

I don’t think I will get back to this before tomorrow so bear with me. I still have some time left this morning but you may not.

Are you copying and pasting the commands into Console? Not sure why those aren’t taking.

Take a look at this post. Follow the instructions carefully.

Check $# after running.

Now I am going to cut the power way down and see if the thing will actually run. Fingers crossed. Workspace and laser position are correct.

Laser STILL will not run through the entire cycle!

Can you go to Edit->Device Settings->Gcode tab and make sure you have nothing entered into those boxes? Take a screenshot and then delete anything that’s there. Please upload screenshot here.

Where did you make this change?

Setting for USB time out is under control panel, hardware and sound, power options.

LORD help me!!! This may have worked

I erased the code that was under the G Code additional settings. The laser ran through an entire project so it may be fixed! Once it warms up a little here, I will go outside and give it a true test.

Asset 1
First and foremost…The dang thing works! But why will it not start in the correct place? I just allowed it run its cycle and hit start when it finished. I almost bet there is a grbl setting that I am missing or I messed up.
So very thankful to you all for getting me up and running again.

Likely not a GRBL setting at this point.

Most likely something mechanical. Or, if you homed again between cycles it will almost certainly be misaligned at least slightly. Though this looks a little extreme.

Make sure your belts are properly tensioned. Make sure there’s no slack and taught but not stretched.

UPDATE I finally was able to get back to the laser issue Wednesday (2/9) and am happy to report the issues seem to be resolved. I started a project and let it run through and it did the same thing. Went nearly a 1/4 inch out of position when it started again. Decided to try the “absolute coordinates” setting and made sure the laser was in the correct position Results came out slightly off. I can live with that. Then I tightened the belts and now it is even better!
I can’t thank you enough for your help!
