Lightburn not working since update to new version

I am using an XTool D1 Pro 20W on an Asus TUF Gaming laptop and it will not work with the new version. It will HOME and the FIRE button works but that is about all. I can draw items to burn but it will not move or burn anything. I reinstalled version 1.2.04 and it works. Any ideas why it won’t work on the new version? Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry! I posted this before I saw the notice regarding this problem!

Could the latest update have something to do with not beeing able to connect to my laser?

It’d be trivial to install whatever older version you were using and find out.

If you installed the 1.3.00 version right at the moment it was released, yes, it could be the issue. If you’ve since re-downloaded the 1.3.00 update from our site and it’s still not working, then you likely have a different issue.

Reinstalled the new modell. Got then to communicate, so far soo happy, now the laser power is reduced. 800 and 95% ×2 run dont cut thru paper.

It is remotely possible that the Speed units changed to inches per minute from mm/minute.

In LightBurn, with your project loaded, click File, click Save GCode and save the file somewhere convenient for you. Open this file with a text editor ( like notepad - or anything really ) and copy the first 12-15 lines from the file into a reply here.

In the LightBurn Console window, request a settings report by typing the following:
$$
then press enter.

Please copy and paste that report into your reply as well.

The speed and power settings should be in the same ranges for those two reports.
This should show us what may have changed.

ok

Can you check in Device Settings for S Value Max value? Your g-code is being generated as if that value is set to 255 but it needs to be set to 1000 based on the GRBL configuration. This is why you’re getting low seeming power.

If S Value Max is set to 255 then change that to 1000. If it’s already 1000 then recreate the device making sure to pick GRBL as the device type.
