Ayuda! Cuando guardo el GCode de cualquier trabajo con una velocidad y potencia de láser determinada, vuelvo a abrirlo para usarlo nuevamente y la velocidad y potencia han cambiado respecto a las que había guardado. Ademas…las capas se unificaron a una sola rellena, todas las veces. Tengo desactivada la opción de “cargar configuración de capa predeterminada en nuevo o reiniciar” Qué estoy haciendo mal?
Hi, I need some help. When I save any file on GCODE with its specific speed and power choice, it does not save the settings. Everytime I open the saved file I get the image as 1 filled layer positioned somewhere in the work space, not exactly where I saved it. I have the option: Load predetermined layer configuration in new…" uncliked. What am I doing wrong?
GCode is what is sent to your laser. Nothing of your settings are saved.
Why save and import GCode files? Your .lbrn2 file has everything in it. This includes all your settings and layers. If you must move a GCode file to the laser, this is fine. But reload your Lightburn project file instead of the GCode file.
Power = Yes, the “S” value.
Position = Yes, the X, Y, & Z numbers.
Layers = No, not as you know it in Lightburn. It does indirectly as the sequence of operations and moves.
Starting Position = NO. If you use Home as the starting position and Absolute Coords, then you have a known reference the GCode can begin from. If you use Current Position or User Origin, that is not included and can be anywhere in the workspace. How can the laser know where you started from last week?
I understand using the same GCode on all machines so you can use the same program later or in a different machine. To make this work, you must use Home switches and Absolute Coords. If you do not have limit switches, you must power up the machine in the same place every time. And still use Absolute Coords.
You mean you have a file, change it and want to have both versions saved? Then just use the “save as” function and save it as a new file. Or select all shapes in the file and duplicate them. Alternatively, you can save your file to a folder like OneDrive, where old versions of the same file are stored in the cloud.
Exporting gcode is not the way to go, as Mike explained.
Thank you Misken…the issue is with the settings it leaves saved at the time I save it… Mikey explains GCODe does not support what I need…so I need to stay in LBurn. Thanks!!
