I have a Thunder Nova 51/130. I have used my rotoboss several times in the past, but when I went to try and use it today I am having issues. Under Rotary Setup, I can see that Roller is selected, Enable Rotary is selected, the Steps are set to 4400, and the roller diameter is set to 56mm. All looks good, but on the bottom right I do not see the green indicator that used to say something like Rotary Enabled. When I tried to frame it just to test, it is not moving the rotary at all. I have restarted the laser, checked all connections, checked my lightburn version 2.0.05 is the latest, but still no luck. Any thoughts or ideas on what to try next would be greatly appreciated.
Does the rotary move when you use the Yaxis Jog buttons?
Do you see a green dot on the Rotary Setup icon at the top?
Correct, there is no dot on the rotary, but it is showing enabled in the setup screen and under my laser buttons as shown on the image here.
Did you click OK in the Rotary Setup window? It will not update the icon until you do that.
Yes, I just opened it again to take the image. I even disabled the rotary, restarted lightburn and the laser and then reenabled it and restarted lightburn and the laser again.
If both switches are on and the green dot does not appear, that is something I cannot resolve.
Pinging @Rick so this issue gets the right attention.
Thank you I appreciate that.
Looks like there was an issue with my controller. I found a backup file that I had made a couple months ago and now I have it working correctly once I restored it.
Fantastic. Glad you got things restored. ![]()
