Newbie Can't figure out what changed

Can you save the gcode for each program and post them here? Curious what the difference might be.

You’ll need to use .txt as an extension in order to post here.

The first one is Lightburn and the one you down load is LaserGRBL

Actually what you posted was the GRBL configuration. They should be the same between both programs because they are stored on the laser controller itself, not in each respective program.

I was looking for the gcode for the jobs you were trying to run.

In LightBurn do “Save gcode” in Laser window.
In LaserGRBL do File->Save (Advanced Options); just keep the default choices in the dialogue.

Haha. No worries.

Just took a look at your project file. Not sure if you changed it before sending but you’re running at 0.5% power in your cut settings.

Are you seeing something different?

Well it seems when you take a break once in awhile you get this ah ah moment. LOL You are correct and everything is working as should now. Thanks so much for the patience and knowledge. Now it is on to bigger and better things. Stay safe and take cae. :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Okay now I need to understand this work area thing. I set up lightburn with 200mm by 200mm. But after loading my picture or whatever and get it all inside the grid I use the move feature to see how it will cut within my space. Alot of the times my laser or Z axis will move to far or table will move to far. It also seems that right is left and left is right or sometimes its up and down. What is the story here???

This is likely going to be quite lengthy and involved. Best to handle this as a separate Topic.

Okie Dokie!! LOL
