Longer36W seems to be inverted in Lightburn

I had previous trouble with trying to attach a rotary to my Longer Laser. I scrapped that idea and hooked the rotary to my 10W laser. I have both lasers connected to the software and just move the cable when needed. My 36W is still messed up. The home seems to be top right. It still hit the rail and grinds. The home should be bottom left. Everything was fine before I pissed around with the rotary. I watched a video that was suppose to take lightburn back to factory setting. I deleted files in the prefs folder and had reenter the laser settings for both lasers. Anyone have any ideas what I did to mess this up.

Your Grbl may not support Variable Power mode (M4)

If your laser does not turn off between cuts,

switch to the GRBL-M3 device

Here is some of the fun I am having.

I do not see the word ‘Error’, ‘Warning’ or ‘Alarm’.

There is some weirdness in the Firmware though.

This is quite strange to see.

  • Is there an SD card or a TF card plugged into the controller module?
  • Is there a hand control plugged in?

Generally, an inverted image is caused by picking a corner for the Origin in LightBurn that is not the one programmed into the laser.

With LightBurn connected as it is now, please open the Move window.

Next, set the Distance to 25mm (or ONE inch if you’re working in inches), and set the speed to 6mm/min (or 0.25 inch per minute if you’re working in inches).

Next, test the compass arrow buttons surrounding the Home on the left side of the Move window. The buttons should cause the laser engraver to jog in the directions indicated by the arrows.

Please tell us what you see when you test this. :slight_smile:
