The overscan is not excessive. Can you post a full screenshot of LightBurn showing your design?
I suspect disabling homing will be a mistake. It seems to have been working correctly based on your log:
start_home x
left limit trigged
start_home y
up limit trigged
MPos:0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
Even with automated homing disabled you should at least manually home the laser by starting it with the machine at top-left.
Are you using the red cross-hairs?
Are you missing the other questions or are you deliberately not answering?
I am not using the cross hairs, it is disabled. I am homing the machine by clicking the home button. It homes correctly.
I have re-enabled homing.
no i am not using the cross-hairs. If i do, will it make a difference?
Then make these changes and retest:
After doing so, rehome, then try framing and burning.
The reason for having the pointer offset is to accommodate for the offset red cross-hairs. If you’re not using the cross-hairs then this can throw-off the apparent alignment and position.
it frames correctly and re-homes correctly. does not burn… still give overscan window as posted above. also, when i bypass that window by clicking continue, it makes an L-shaped jog in both x and y and returns home. no burning.
Okay. Then sounds like the core issue is resolved.
This is a matter of getting your settings correct. You’re likely going way too fast with too little power.
Can you post an updated full screenshot of LightBurn?
In what way is it off?
Can you confirm that you disabled the Pointer Offset in Edit->Device Settings?
If yes, then try moving the design closer to the center of the workspace. It seems you should have plenty of room for overscan but there may be something else going on.
If no, then please disable and retest.
It is disabled.
bc the current position is top left (home). the pointer is showing where the diode is currently yes?
Which pointer are you referring to specifically?
crosshairs on preview image.
I wish i could upload a video so you could visually see it. it frames correctly but it does not do anything similar as far as movements after clicking start on lightburn.
That’s showing you the planned path of the laser (which should match the diode location). However, there’s nothing in Preview that shows you the absolute position of the laser.
You can upload to an external site and link here.
Instead of using an image, I’d suggest maybe starting with a simple rectangle created in LightBurn. That will eliminate a lot of variables.
