Is there any sort of option on LightBurn to keep the stepper motors at full or reduced power when at rest? T2Laser has a hold option that does this, but at full power, the drivers heat up. I have an Endurance 10 watt laser and an Eleksmana V5.2 control board. Right now, when the engraving is finished, motor power is off and any touch or bump will cause the laser to lose home position. This is disastrous if I want to have a second run to engrave deeper or obtain a through cut.
Hi,
$1 = 255 will keep the motors powered and locked when the Job has finished in machine settings, so you do not loos position. Then if leaving machine powered for a while a good idea to send $SLP command to unlock motors, to stop them heating up, if leaving idle, a Re Home will be required after.
Thanks Paul, that’s just what I needed.
