Power Settings on a Falcon A1 10W

Hi,
I have been using LightBurn (LB) for a number of years (4th licence renewal) and an Atomstack 5.
All has worked well but (Love the editing feature) Deciced to upgrade to a enclosed machine and went for the Falcon A1 10w (not the pro).
The problem I have is that the power setting I have been using in the Falcon Design Space (FDC) software do not work in LB infact I have problems cutting anything.
Example, I cut a lot of 1/16" to 1/4" bulsa for model aircraft building.
In FDC fo 1/16" I use 35% power 1200mm Speed and 1 pass this gives me a very nice sharp cut.
In LB the same settings hardly make a mark on the wood. If i crank it up to 100% power get a rather iffy cut.

I’m on 2.0.02 of LB

I cant see that I’m doing anything wrong haveing used LB for a number of years.

Please post a screenshot (not a cell phone pic) of your entire Lightburn screen with your project loaded and the Cuts/Layers Panel and Laser Panel visible. Also post a screenshot of the Settings Window (Gears icon) with the Units and Grids tab visible and post a screenshot of the Device Settings Window (Wrench and Screwdriver icon).

Hi Tim, Hope these are ok. Let me know if you need more.
I’m on Windows 11, version 24H2

OK, that’s what I thought the issue probably was. You’re running in mm/sec not mm/min, that’s 60X the desired speed. Make the change in device settings (Wrench & Screwdriver icon).

Hi Tim.
That did the tick thank you.

I don’t remember hving to set that on my old unit and the old level of Software.

I just need to get the camera aligned now.

Regards’
Stuart.

I’m not able to help with that. I don’t use a camera or have any experience setting one up.

Hi Tim, I find it very usefull as I can get the most out of the woo, it saves a lot of waste.
I have the camera working it’s just the picture of the wood and where it cuts aren’t in the same place.
I can work on that now I can actually cut wood.
Onec again Thanks.
