the laser responds to the “home” button by going exactly where you suggest it should, as shown below, and from your description, this is how i understand the orientation should be considered
but when i choose “origin”, this is where the laser heads off to (with vile noises that i can’t reproduce in a still photo), before crashing into the barrier where the arrow points
this may be because the laser module is actually larger than the original iteration of the master 2s, and the extra 1cm of space required doesn’t exist, and as such the working area has thus become truncated to x=170mm, y=160mm
to further confound my understanding, if the origin is at the bottom left (where the arrow is pointed), then the origin might logically be 0,0
but depending on what home might be defined as, it could plausibly be 0, -170
as a complete novice with this concept, i have no intrinsic feel for “normal” to aid orientation
it conflicts with my prior reading of simple x,y graphs, because if i get the idea correctly here, then if the origin is 0,0 i will have to recalibrate due to the larger laser module, to accommodate clearance. and home would be (using the same relativity) actually be at 0,160
my innate maths training would see the x axis as 0 → (+)170, and the y axis as 0 → (-)160 because that point is below the arm
but if i get the concept, the arm is inconsequential in defining the actual working surface, which starts at the bottom leftmost point as i face the machine (which with enough reflection actually would make sense)
which raises these questions towards solving my problem :
- how do i tell the console to reprogram “origin” 1cm closer to the home position so the bigger laser module won’t run out of space ? (if that’s my issue)
- why does it make the horrible noise sprinting towards what i currently thinks is the origin ?
even when i ask it to frame the project, the initial excursion to the co-ordinates makes the same horrible noise, but after locating said area, it is buttery smooth and quiet outlining the frame
under the neje software it sprints to a defined starting point without any juddering at all… and no, i don’t have both programs open at the same time - lightburn has this issue as the only program open after booting the laptop driving the device
hope that clarifies where i’m at; further assistance is most welcome
i can see the potential, and i’d love to use it
