Good day, I recently purchased the sculpfun s6pro I got it to produce once about a week ago now today when I set up the program all the windows seem to pop up EXCEPT the laser window to control the machine, what I am I missing or doing wrong, also I try using the homing button and it tells me “ homing cycle not enable in GRBL settings “ is this something I’ll have to do every time? As you can tell I am very new to this hobby.
Try going up to “window” at top and reset to default settings. Are you using a laptop? Do you have limit switches on machine. If so go to your console and type in $$ then enter. Check to see if $22=1
Homing Cycle Not Enabled is an error that stems from how your firmware is set up on your laser. Does your laser have limit switches - I don’t believe the S6 pro does from the factory, which means if you enabled ‘Auto-home on startup’ during LightBurn’s device setup, that error would be produced.
You can disable homing on startup by going to ‘Edit > Device Settings’ and disabling the switch on the right hand side of the window, as below.
With that all said and done, how do you “Home” your machine?
- With power off, move the laser head to the front left corner. This will be the last time you move the laser head by hand.
- Power up the laser. (If you get an alarm, enter $X in the Console Window.)
- In the Move window, click on the Set Origin button. You are now Homed.
Until you get comfortable with the coordinate systems, choose Start From: Absolute Coords in the Laser window.
You should now be good to go
