Hello Community,
I’m not totally new to lasering, but I’m more familiar with trotec laser engravers from work. I wanted to have my own laser, so I got myself the Wainlux K8 10W machine. I connected it to lightburn. Everything started great, but then i tried to make the camera work with this link: hubcio tech blog | Integrating Wainlux K8 laser engraver with Lightburn
Long Story short, i was not able to find the right IP Adress. I wanted to use the camera because the object I’m about to engrave is round and I want to place my design right in the middle.
After that i tried my luck with the positioning and just wanted to get started. Once i press “START” the following occurs:

Harte Grenze ausgelöst. Die Maschinenposition geht wahrscheinlich durch plötzliches und sofortiges Anhalten verloren. Die Rückkehr zur Ausgangsposition wird dringend empfohlen.

Without anything physically happening, the Machine tells me that returning to the home is recommended. Once i klicked on “Home” (remember the machine is still in the front left corner) the Laser head hits the casing several times making a strange noise and being followed by the messages below:
$H
ALARM:9
Homing fail. Could not find limit switch within search distance. Defined as 1.5 * max_travel on search and 5 * pulloff on locate phases.

So I am not able to engrave at all. I do not know how to set the limits or the homing position. In some blogs i read that it is either recommended to switch hard-limits $20 off, others say on is better. Others say the wiring should be checked, but I got it like this out of the box.
Since I’ve seen it in other occations, the following shows my machine confiq:

It would really be awesome if there is anyone who knows how to handle this problem or these problems.
Thanks in Advance
