Please help me with this problem,
If I draw a Square of 20 by 20 mm and burn this the program translates this in
20 mm with is correct but the Y is 20 x 2.3 = 46 mm.
I checked the G code and the code is telling that the square is a 20 x 46 mm thing
Question, what do I do wrong?
Thanks in advance.
You need to adjust the steps / mm in the firmware.
Go to the console and type in $$. Check the value behind $100 and adjust it accordinly.
Formula would be:
New steps = old steps / 46 * 20
Type in $100 = New steps (the calculated value of course)
Example: You enter $$ and find the value behind $100 is 160,
New steps = 160 / 46 * 20 = 69.565
You enter $100=69.565 and press Enter.
Roy, Thank you for your fast response, I gone give it a try and keep you posted.
If the GCode days it’s 20 x 46 it’s not your steps. Do you have rotary mode enabled?
Roy, This is not the problem, the G Code is simply wrong, but thanks for your advice.
LightBurn Oz, Yes I had rotary mode enabled and after switching this OFF the program
made the perfect code and worked perfect, thanks very much for that.
Question, when do I enable rotary, only if a radius is programmed?
Thanks in advance,
You would only use rotary mode when using a rotary device - like a roller or chuck rotary for turning glassware under the laser.
