Ok. Are you talking about the data from my console in a photo or screenshot? I did change some of the visible info.
Nope, that’s on you. I clipped the phone number & email address from the message on general principles.
Stipulated: It’s a reasonable assumption none of us have any truly private information these days. The best we can do is not make it too easy for the trawlers.
Ok. That couldn’t be more cryptic, lol. I don’t see where any of that info is listed except my email on my profile and it says it is never shown in public. I guess if it is that easy on this platform to grab someone’s info Lightburn needs to tighten things up. I appreciate the heads up though,
You included your phone number and email address in the post, which I removed and left a note marking the spot.
Oh crap. That’s correct, as it was a copy and paste from an email. SOB, I didn’t catch that. Thank you for catching and removing it, sir.
For anyone who is having “continuous jog” ($J) issues I’ve copy and pasted the final results from the lightburn software support team. After trial and error this is what worked and I’m now back online. However, continuous jog is evidently not jiving with GRBL version 1.1 so it is turned off and manual jog is good.
It may be that $J (continuous jogging) does not work with x-carve machines (running VER:1.1g.20170629-Inventables firmware) yet from LightBurn which is probably something to do with the way the Z-axis is set up in the firmware since as you said it doesn’t seem to work until you set Z=0) using Easel first.
That seems like something that can be fixed though, and I have a few other ideas that might help, so please do this test, where we confirm Z is zeroed in LightBurn and then jog each axis manually and see what happens with the movement and the coordinates;
First of all, if your machine homes to the front left then you can set the origin back to the front left and turn off “CNC Machine”. (If the homing limit switches are in the front left corner that makes everything simpler)
-in Edit > Device Settings, toggle on ‘Enable Z axis’.
-Change the “Start From :” to ‘Absolute Coords’
Using the Console
-Set $130 to the X axis max travel
-Set $131 to Y axis max travel
Restart the machine, and connect to it with LightBurn, it should home straight away since you have ‘Auto home on startup’ enabled, but if it did not click on the ‘Home’ button, go to your LightBurn>Window>Console, and enter these commands, in this order, one line at a time, and press “enter” after each:
$$
$#
?
$10=0
?
Select and copy the results from the console window and then paste them back to me please as I want to confirm all your GRBL and position settings.
Now, after homing if you click on ‘Get Position’ you should see Zeros for the work coordinates?
If you do not then enter;
G92 X0Y0Z0
look for ‘OK’
Click on ‘Get Position’ again, all axis should be zeroed.
Now start jogging to the right, with continuous jog enabled, how does it jog ? it should go all the way to the figure you entered for $130 x-max travel without any errors, when you get there click on ‘Get Position’ in the Move Window - what do you see?
Now start jogging upward, with continuous jog enabled, how does it jog ? it should go all the way to the figure you entered for $131 y-max travel without any errors, when you get there click on ‘Get Position’ in the Move Window - what do you see?
Click on the ‘Home’ button in the move window, and the machine should successfully home.
Cheers,
