Reset to continue

[seminole191 (Russell grisham)]

What is happening here? I’ve had it working a few months ago come back and this is happening.

Notice the “ALARM: 2” in the console output. this is a “Soft limit alarm” produced from grbl. The description of this alarm is: grbl/doc/csv/alarm_codes_en_US.csv at master · gnea/grbl · GitHub

G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position retained. Alarm may be safely unlocked.

Also looks like your machine is reporting it is in negative space, which would produce this alarm. Do you use macros to flip between spindle and laser? Did you possibly reset for use with your router and not run the macro to reset your system to run in laser mode again?

Please update this when you get a chance.

Looks like you are using a JTech laser mounted, but do not see the control system you are using. Others have benefited from this setup walkthrough provided on the JTech site. https://jtechphotonics.com/?p=10204 And, Try setting $10=0 - I think the JTech article is still missing this.

Additionally, this is a good refresher - this addresses the negative coordinates used by XCarve and other common CNC systems, and how to use an offset to fix it: https://github.com/LightBurnSoftware/Documentation/blob/master/CommonGrblSetups.md#common-grbl-setups

Filling out your profile with your Machine Details:

You can edit this by clicking on your profile icon in the top right (on desktop browser), clicking the gear icon in the menu that pops up, and going to the Profile tab.

@Rick has a very nicely filled out profile:

Thank you for helping us be as efficient as we can be in providing support to

@seminole191

Also where to put $10 setting?

You enter firmware commands in the console as described in the JTech doc I linked above. Did that not work for you?
