cutting a square 5 x 5mm it cuts it at 4 x 5mm, it works fine when I disconnect the R5 looks like something to do with the Y axis
The steps per mm may be different between the Yaxis motor and the R5 conveyor motor. You will have to run some tests. You can use a couple of Macros to switch parameter $101 back and forth.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your advice, sounds like it could be the problem, how do I run a macro, haven’t done that before
Cheers,

Hi Mike,
Did work it out from your info on $101 thank you very much for your help ![]()

Macro? Simple, Make one button for “Yaxis” and another for “Conveyor”. I set up something like this for my rotary. Do not include the comment part in parenthesis. Adjust numeric values for your specific machine.
Also be aware you may have to change some settings in Lightburn, but others create a new Device Type to take care of that.
Based on what I see on the Atomstack page, that is not really a conveyor, but a shuttle table. What I recommended below is based on this observation.
Yaxis:
$101=80 (Set for Yaxis stepper)
$22=1 (Turn on Home Enable)
$131=385 (Normal travel for Yaxis)
Conveyor:
$101=?? (Use your found value)
$22=0 (Disable Home if the conveyor has no limit switch)
$131=900 (Use the value for your particular conveyor)
Here is the Docs…
When the price drops another $100, I might buy one of those. ![]()
