Just updated to version 1.2.00, and I’m having trouble with the speeds.
I always used mm/min (I’m from Belgium :-p), and when engraving wood, I always set it to 3000 at 80%.
After the update, the laser went at crazy speeds. So now I have it at 1000 mm/min at 100%.
Is there something I missed, or might this be a bug?
I tried removing the prefs folder, reïnstalling, but thus far, no clue.
Both new and old project suffer from this.
Anyone that has an idea what might have gone wrong?
Somehow previous version of LB was generating different code
Something has changed on the controller side to interpret things differently
Something has changed mechanically. Perhaps you were never getting the full speed specified and now you are getting something closer to it.
Your machinery is malfunctioning and not doing what it’s told
Are you able to take a video of the laser in action and measure the actual speed? If so, you may want to measure only the central part of the movement ignoring the ends which will be affected by acceleration/deceleration. If you do this it might be useful to pre-burn distance markers to make the measurement easier.
Did a line of 30 cm (300mm), so at 3000mm/min that should take about 6 seconds.
I did a stopwatch test, en I actually got 6.36 seconds (human error brings it to 6), so I guess the speed is correct.
I think 4 is not the problem, I still get what I made, but not perfect with the new speeds yet.
So maybe with the last update it fixed an accidental bug?
Guess it’s back to testing then to get the speeds again.
