Question for default mirrored image on galvo but not on co2

[Paologenoa (Paolo Campora)]

Good evening, everyone,
I use lightburn with two different types of lasers; a traditional CO2 and a Galvo fiber that I added very recently.
When I write text with the CO2. it is normally written correctly.
However, when I do the same with the Galvo fiber, it etches it to me mirrored (upside down)
I have searched the settings and the internet for a possible solution, without finding anything.
In your opinion what is the reason?
if I find a way to correct the Galvo fiber, I am afraid it will change the co2…
do you have any ideas?
thanks in advance!
greetings to all.

This area controls this… depending on which way it’s mirrored…

Good luck

I had seen this card, but I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to make changes I’m not sure of.
At the moment, if I write my name ‘PAOLO’ on the monitor, for example, it engraves it mirrored, as if either I had to read it from behind.
I would have thought of a correction on the Y-axis, not the X-axis.
do you think the “reverse direction” switch is the solution, or do I have to change from galvo 1 to galvo 2?

If I try to change by trial and error on these two, can I cause damage to the laser?

thank you!

Take a screen shot of the settings before modifying them… just in case you confuse yourself.

I’d try swapping the axes first… I don’t know what mirrored means when it comes to what’s actually happening…

Most of us have found that just an X and Y axes swap seems to fix the issue.

Good luck

Resolved!
Thanks Jack!
In GALVO1 I enabled the “reverse direction” switch to green and the problem is no more!
Thanks again!
