After the latest light burn update, Everytime I try to jog my machine, it goes all the way to thaximum x and y coordinate. If I don’t stop it, I believe it will crash into the walls. When I click home, it homes correctly to the limit switches. But once I jog it in the x or y direction, it takes off. Z works just fine. I don’t know what it is.
UPDATE: When I open up UGC, it works just fine; I can jog the machine without any problems. When I then go back to Lightburn, I can jog the machine correctly. However, if I click any other buttons, like ‘Frame’, it takes off to the opposite side again, and jogging doesn’t work correctly again.
There have been some problems with the settings not being correctly carried over to the new version.
The easiest way to fix this is to install your old prefs file.
Can you try something for me please? If you disable ‘Continuous jog’ and set the distance to a small value like 5mm, a low speed, and jog 5mm in every direction, do these short jogging moves work as expected or do you have the same issue?
There isn’t a control for “continuous jog” on my ‘Move’ panel. Below my directional controls, there is nothing.
Regardless to what I set the distance or speed, the machine still jogs to the complete opposite corner. It also doesn’t matter what direction I click.
Update: I went into settings and enables “$J Jogging”. That caused the toggle control to display in my Move panel. It is currently not enabled. The problem still persists.
Update: I changed the speed and distance settings. The speed seems to have an affect, making the machine move at a very slow speed. But the distance makes no difference. It continues to try and jog all the way across to the opposite corner.
Immediately after the machine has homed, please go to your LightBurn>Window>Console, and enter these commands, one line at a time, and press “enter” after each:
$i
$$
$#
?
Select and copy the results from the console window and then paste them here.
What are your settings in this area?, please add a screenshot of this ‘Dimensions’ page and the ‘Basic Settings’;
If you have projects to complete I suggest you revert back to 1.7.08 (just install it again your settings will remain) and we could continue to troubleshoot using the latest pre-release version which will set itself up seperately with it’s own shortcut.
I have seen examples of the machine jogging to the opposite end when $J jogging with continuous jog is enabled but not usually when it was off as the small jogging movements by distance are usually made relative (G91) to the current position of the machine, but if ‘CNC Machine’ is enabled that will change things, and could be causing the issue you are seeing - and if so, I believe this is currently being looked at by the dev team so hopefully a patch is not too far away.
