Newbie requesting advice getting good burns

I’m going to use this thread instead of starting a new one, hopefully I can get some help.

I know I’m new, but I’m having issues that I can’t figure out. I’m currently watching this tutorial video and following him step by step:

I’m trying to do the name tag he’s walking us through. Everything seems to look good in Lightburn. When I hit preview, it goes through the process and seems fine.

The issue I’m having is when I try to do anything on my laser. My PC is in my room and my laser is in the garage. In order to do anything I have to put the file on a memory card and walk it to the garage. Not too bad, I could use the exercise lol

When I insert the card and hit the frame button, my laser goes to home and stops, or starts moving to a weird position and then stops. Nothing happens when I hit start. I can’t seem to find anything online talking about my current issue.

Now I decided to reload the Lamia card I was working on at the start of this thread. I know for a fact that one works when I hit frame. Well, now it doesn’t. It moves to some weird areas rather than it’s location in Lightburn, and doesn’t even burn in the correct area.

Help??

Sometimes I feel like my issues arise when I increase the speed of the laser, almost as if it’s trying to move outside of it’s actual size.
