Ok, I’ll preface this to say I am a newbie to this & just installed this today. I have already checked that the USB is correctly into my computer & the power adapter is working (in an outlet that works & has a green light on). It is properly set for home/origin to be in Bottom Left.
When I start it up the connection it goes all the way to the bottom left but starts to hit the board & rattles the Y-axis.
I looked through these & saw everybody say check the wiring, but it has to be good or else it means I was sent defective cables.
“ALARM:8 ; Homing fail. Cycle failed to clear limit switch when pulling off. Try increasing pull-off setting or check wiring.”
Where can I adjust the “pull-off setting” to see if this is the issue?
It seems like it doesn’t register when to stop at the Y axis.
There aren’t great directions of this thing & also the light on the board is flashing blue then purple. I don’t know if this means it is working properly or not.
Ok, so it appeared that the red & white cords that came pre-assembled were in the wrong ports on the thing to the left of the origin. All good & got it to work.
I really miss my laser engraver at my job site that had the built in cover. I may need to get a table for my back room instead of it being in the open. VERY BRIGHT laser when no cover is used to cover it up.
I might suggest this is another issue worth reaching out to Ortur directly to help resolve. The “Homing pull-off” is defined in the Grbl firmware settings for your Ortur. They will be the best able to tell you what you want that set to for proper operation.
