Hi, and thank you in advance if you can help.
xTool S1, MacBook Pro M3, latest Lightburn (RC3).
The X axis has randomly inverted.
My skill/experience level is ‘medium’ with the cutter itself, and ‘very high’ with troubleshooting and IT in general.
I’ve just come back to my xTool S1 after a few months away, and first thing I did was run some basic tests to refamiliarise myself, in xTool Creative Space. You’d think that the hardware manufacturers would make their software work well with their devices, but I have not found this to be the case—there are so many shortcomings in it (still), and Lightburn is far superior in most ways.
So after I checked everything was working in XCS, I fired up Lightburn, and it immediately told me there was a new version, so I upgraded with gusto.
Now, I have no idea what has happened since I was last using it, but now my X axis has inverted.
When I jog “up” or “down”, the laser moves up or down. Yes!
BUT when I jog “left” it goes RIGHT and when I jog “right” it goes LEFT. Gah!
This is the case regardless of the “Origin” I choose in Device Settings.
I have tried removing the device and re-adding it but that hasn’t helped.
I have tried firing $3=0 and $3=1 at the laser to invert the X axis but despite returning “ok” both times, it’s made no difference.
I am actually at a complete loss to know where to go from here.
Thank you very much for reading.
