Making laser head return to home automatically

[sedonafred (fred rusher)]

could you tell me how to set lightburn so it will return to home automatically when finished ?

I have no idea, since it varies from machine to machine, usually based on the type of controller.

You have nothing in your profile to help us identify what you’re using…

These posts might be of help:

Finish burn and go to home position

Is there a setting to send the laser to the home position after burning? Home is top left and the laser goes to bottom left when finished.

Option to not return home

It depends on your controller type. For a gcode controller (grbl, smoothieware, etc) go to Edit > Device Settings, and uncheck “Return to finish Position” [image] DSP controllers like the Ruida will generally also return to the origin - either the global origin (where it homes to) or the user origin - So if you are cutting based on “User Origin” it will always return there.

But it all depends heavily on your hardware.
