Useless software?

[Boerewors (CJ)]

Thank you @Colin , Downloaded and will install in the morning.

@jkwilborn YES it is! did not expect this level honestly.

I had a similar issue to the OP, Just linking this here in case it’s helpful, my solution is the last reply in the thread.

Detect movement, terminate laser engraving! Acceleration fluctuation

I had this problem too, just adding what worked for me, in case it helps anyone else struggling with the same. I had to change the $262 value to change the G-shock threshold. I ended up disabling mine entirely by setting $262=0. This means I will not get an alarm if the laser cutter falls, but I never leave it unattended while in use, so this is fine for me, but please take the time to consider this as you are disabling a safety feature. Please note, too, this fix only works for firmware 1.78 …

I also set the transfer mode to synchronus (in Edit>Device settings) just in case: What is Buffered vs Synchronous Transfer Mode

Also that note I have about adding $H to your start gcode, could be the fix for your bounding error, depending on the cause of it.

One thing I learned is that “out of bounds” errors are caused by the laser head trying to go beyond the defined machine limits when doing raster operations. The process includes overscan because the head can’t stop instantly. This means you can do a vector operation and it works fine then do a raster operation on the same work piece and get an out of bounds error. Makes sense but was not obvious to me for a while.

THANK YOU @Colin COLIN, for the updated exe, Been busy with work so only had a chance to test now, been running for 40 mins and no issues.
I will DM you if there is issues elsewhere, but seems 100% sofar, going to try everything i can.

Thank you @OrturTech for mentioning the Wifi issue with the current stable release.

[jkwilborn (Jack Wilborn)]

Overscan works a bit differently between a grbl (Ortur) and a dsp controller like a Ruida.

The dsp will compute the overscan, mine refers to it as a ‘slop’ error. On a grbl it’s externally computed by the software.

This is probably a reason that the dsp types have to have the complete job loaded on the controller, not streamed like a grbl machine.

Did not know that’ Excellent insight!

Hi

Could I also get the link?

I’m trying to run my OLM3 over wifi. Fails to complete most jobs.

Cheers

1.2.02 is required as stated above, should be out very soon

[Boerewors], I hope you got it sorted out. Lightburn is definitely not “useless software”. Too many people using it and too many how-to videos say it is not useless. Read or watch tutorials, ask questions, and you will find Lightburn is way ahead of whoever is in second place. It is awesome that it can work with so many DIFFERENT machines.

[Boerewors (CJ)]

Hi Mike,
Yes I know. I was frustrated beyond belief as I have tried so many different things before I posted on here.
Within the thread you will see that I received the assistance needed. Can’t go without LB, nothing else comes close.

[MikeyH (Mike Hembrey)]

That deserves an Amen!
