When I turn on the engraver, the laser head bangs even though the limit switches are sending a signal. It no longer reads the XY origin. I reset the controller, but it doesn’t work. What can I do? Thanks to anyone who can help me.
Did you do a factory reset? If you did you likely lost the vendor settings which you need to re-load. I hope you saved them at some point.
When you have a failure, don’t reset things unless you have a good reason.
Unfortunately yes, I reset to factory settings and did not save the original settings.
Your profile says a diode laser, rarely do we see diode lasers with a Ruida controller. Maybe I have the wrong machine in mind… If that’s the correct machine in your profile, it might be ok to reset it.
Which machine do you have and how did you reset it?
The engraver is a 50W CO2
Does the engraver need to be turned on to import from backup?
I have version 1.2.04
You can import, but tt needs to write data to the controller, so yes the controller must be powered up.
oh, this version is almost vintage 
I hope you have a prefs copy that works

I did as you said, but everything is the same as before. It doesn’t work.
Can I manually move the head to its zero point and then memorize the position?
I tried restoring from backup, but it doesn’t work
Whether it’s because of your slightly old version, I don’t dare say. But, if it were me, I would collect all relevant data such as controller number, end stop position, X and Y length…, and then either restore the settings myself or hope that another user with the same machine will make their file available.
Hello!
Basically, the laser head is somewhere and with the new Lightburn version 2 I would like to send the head down by 1 millimeter or 1 cm to get it into a better position but the head does not move, as soon as I noticed this problem several times after the update I put the 1.7.08 version back and there I manage to send the head down in any direction.
(I have not had any other problems with the built machine so far but the version update does not make any movement.)
The combination that works well so far:
RUIDA 6445G Lightburn 1.7.08
