LightBurn Software Questions

Everything was working fine. Ortur master pro 2. I assembled the ortur y axis roller. Unplugged the y motor cable and attached to rollor. Decided to move laser to middle of machine. plugged y controller back to motor. when I homed, the laser moves to bottom left corner correctly, but lightburn lists im at coordinates -397, -387. until I messed with settings to turn on rotary device, which i think i set all back to starndard settings, it read home as 0,0. so if i try to 'set position by clicking on to the work area, this is the error i get

Very likely that you have a work offset inadvertently configured on the machine. This was very common for that model and firmware version.

I suggest you do 2 things:

  1. Reset the GRBL configuration to defaults. This is safe on Ortur machines assuming you haven’t customized your machine in any way.
    Run this command in Console:
$RST=*

This should get you back to a working state.
2. I’d suggest updating the firmware as the later firmware revisions have been updated to avoid this issue.
Ortur – Firmware Repository – Ortur

If this does not remediate the issue can you run these commands in Console and return the output?

$H
$#
?

the $RST=* did fix the issue !!! i’ll update the firmware tonight before going back to the rotary system
