having problems with workspace and origin, unit homes ok but workspace out of bounds
when i use the laser position its just half the bed and its not the right location
Where is the origin of your machine? If you use the manual jogging buttons to move the laser head into the work area, then click “Get Positions” what does it report back?
You’ve said you have a K40 with a GRBL controller, but not said which type. GRBL configured for CNC use is usually set to work in negative workspace, which would mean you’d need a workspace offset, as described in the link I sent above.
So your machine is reporting the position X: 317.5, and Y: 3632.5.
If your machine is homing, and zeroing when it homes, those numbers should be X:0 and Y:200 or thereabouts. You have your origin set to the rear left instead of front left, so you should change that, and your $10 setting should be set to 0.
Can you copy & paste the output that your controller sends when you type $# into the console and hit enter?
thnaks for the response, i notice the grbl controler was the problems so i have purchased a mini gerbil for k40 laser from awsometech should be here tuesday so ill let u know the outcome.
