I was wanting to create a macro that will home the laser (limit switches) and then move to x350 y330. I am new to this and am not sure how to accomplish this, any help would be appreciated.
Try this:
$H
G90
G0 X350Y330
omg, that was so easy, I feel stupid for asking but I couldn’t find clear-cut examples of what codes I could use and what it does. Would you mind explaining those codes?
No worries.
$H - this is a GRBL command to home the laser.
G90 - This is gcode putting the machine into absolute coordinates mode (in contrast to relative coordinates)
G0 - This is gcode for rapid moves
X350Y330 - Reference for absolute coordinates of 350,330
Thank you for explaining that. I spent the last 2 hours trying to figure it out, again Thank You!
Man I messed up something. Whenever I press frame it outlines an area but no matter where I place… lets say a square the laser will not frame the new position. It also will not cut anywhere I place the square its always stays in the same spot (front left). Could you help or should I start a new topic?
Normally this would be a new topic but it may be a simple thing.
Make sure you’re using “Absolute Coords” as the Start From mode in Laser window.
That worked. I guess I have to re-read up on the differences.
