Very new to this software and engraving machine. I have a Ortur master 2. It homes to the bottom left corner. I place my art work on the bottom left corner to engraver. Once I hit start. It shuts straight to the top right corner. Also the laser position is completely off. Will only move on the top right corner
Can you take a full screenshot of LightBurn with the design loaded and ready to burn?
Are you ever moving the laser head by hand after homing? If so, avoid doing so. Use the jogging controls exclusively to move the laser head.
If not, the problem may be that you’re in negative workspace.
Please run these commands in the Console window and return the full output.

Looks like your machine is failing to home. Do you see the laser head move to the front left and actuate the X and Y switches twice for each switch?
Also, note that you’re missing the output of the last command ?.
laser is still shooting to the top right. Also when i try to move the laser with jog. it only wants to move up and to the right. which then end up at the to top right. yes laser does move to the bottom left. makes a weird sound for a few seconds then stops. would that be the problem?

side note. I am not able to see the position of the laser on lightburn.
Can you address the question about homing? That seems to be the root of the issue.
However, I’m now reconsidering as it looks like your machine reset after the failed homing cycle.
Did you run the commands one at a time in Console and is what you copy/pasted in the order that the output was generated?
After Home is pressed. It moves to bottom left corner. Once it makes contact with the switch. It seems like it wants to continue moving towards the corner. Like if it doesn’t know it’s there.

did the codes right after the other
So two things:
- Your machine is not completing homing
- Your controller seems like it’s resetting after the failed homing
I’d suggest focusing on the homing issue first as the second issue may be related.
It sounds like the stepper motors are working correctly and the controller is attempting to home. However, the switches are either not getting actuated or they’re failing to register the actuation.
Check the switches for X and Y. If you manually move the laser head to the front-left, can you physically feel and hear the actuation of both the X and Y switches? If not, what is impeding the switches from being actuated.
If they are being actuated, there may not be reporting the actuation to the controller properly. Check all connections and make sure they’re properly connected and well seated.
After all that, try this:
- Manually actuate one of the switches. While doing so, enter
?in Console - Repeat for other switch
- Copy output of those commands here
