I need you to run the commands, then once the commands return output to the Console, copy the text output and return that in a response here. I need to see the output.

Position of laser head and Absolute Coords is not directly correlated. However, I suspect that your laser is not configured properly. It seems that the Ray is shipping with an incorrect configuration. I have not seen anything definitive that explains how it should be setup. There are a number of Topics here with the same problem.

Take a look at this one.

> I’m looking back at a separate topic with a Snapmaker Ray. I’m not sure what’s going on but it seems like these machines are not getting shipped with the proper configuration or it’s not clear how they’re meant to work. The conclusion in that Topic was that machine homed top-left with origin at bottom-left. In order to accommodate this a work offset was applied. Let’s reproduce that. Can you run these commands in Console: G10 L2 P1 X0Y-400 $10=0 Then home the machine. Test jogging controls…

I’d suggest not simply applying the listed fix as your conditions could be different unless you first work through the entire Topic and confirm that you have the exact same situation and output from the commands I requested earlier.
