Wecreat vision with Passthrough conveyor A-axis not working

[Concussion (Brian Gendron)]

Here is what I’m dealing with. I’m setting up the wecreat vision with the wecreat Passthrough conveyer using the rotary setup in Lightburn 1.7.03, and using the latest Vision firmware 2.0.24. I’m using a new version of the wecreat lightburn profile file that I downloaded today to import the machine into lightburn.

Everything else seems to work except for the A-axis for the conveyor. It worked and while I was figuring out how to manually focus so I could run a conveyor test it just stopped working. When I run the test the laser x-axis starts and the test runs for the time that it would take to run the actual test if the conveyor was actually moving, but the conveyor doesn’t move.
I’ve tried two computers, one with win10 and one with win11. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled everything.

The conveyor axis in the wecreat Makeit software works. It just doesn’t work in lightburn anymore. Just wondering if anytime else has this issue.

Thanks!

How is this Focus Z button enabled? I’m using the lbdev file they provided and I’ve tried playing with all of the z-axis options in the machine settings but none seem to enable this. I’m having to focus with a macro on the console window still. [image]

Try with a Custom device, you have a few more optios in the Custom GCode tab.
Report back.

I’d suspect it wouldn’t be a supported option with Lightburn, as it’s a feature for that machine and how it works is likely not known by Lightburn.

Some manufacturers make changes to allow custom operations and those are not standard grbl and unless they advise Lightburn on how to do it, it’s probably not available using Lightburn and you’ll probably have to use their software if you’re using the machines special features.

Good luck
