I an running the 6550-PRO and having a problem with the work area. I have my work area set at X = 25" and Y set at 19". My project is 4.00" x 4.00". Start position is set to the center of the project and the project is centered on the work area. When I click on Start I get the following error message:
ALARM:2
G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained. Alarm may be unlocked. (Right-click the ‘Devices’ button to reset the connection)
On or near line 4:
Job halted

Grbl 1.1 [‘$’ for help]
Your Grbl may not support Variable Power mode (M4)
If your laser does not turn off between cuts,
switch to the GRBL-M3 device
[MSG:‘$H’|‘$X’ to unlock]
[MSG:Caution: Unlocked]
ok
I right click on the the Device but keep getting the same message.
I have always used current position but I will try AC. Just can’t right now as one of the limit switches is broke and waiting for a new one from YoraHome. But my thinking is after the limit switch is replaced and I can home the machine the problem should be fixed. Just hoping i could have used my laser while waiting for it.
Until it arrives try this:
Disable “Auto-home on start”. I suspect you already have. Start the machine with the laser head at front-left. At startup position should be set to 0,0. Check by pushing “Get Position” in Move window. If it is indeed 0,0 then you can use Absolute Coords without issue.
Thank you!!!
