Why with 1.2.0 when I push ESC go to absolut ZERO

Why dont move to the origin of the work!!! I ruin two works!!! MENTAL NOTE: never upgrade until the X.X.02 at last!!!

I am not understanding your question. Please provide details as to what you are wanting, what you do and what you observe. Paint us a picture, so we can ā€˜seeā€™ what you are experiencing. :slight_smile:

Whenever I have a job burning in the laser if I pause it and press ESC the laser moves to the origin point of the job. Since I did the update, pressing ESC moves to absolute zero and loses the origin point of the job.

The update does not alter your laser firmware settings, just LightBurn. Did you change any of the settings in your laser itself? (Or did you apply any saved settings files?)

The one youā€™re looking for is called ā€œReturn Positionā€ in Edit > Machine Settings. If itā€™s set to ā€œAbsolute Originā€ it will go to the machine zero. If itā€™s set to ā€œOriginā€ it will go to the user origin point.

You also tagged this with ā€œGRBLā€, but this is a Ruida problem, which was confusing.

Iā€™m afraid Iā€™m running into the same issue as @cristhian tho. It seems that ā€œAbsolute originā€ is somehow being mapped to ā€œOriginā€. When writing settings to the machine, it is written incorrectly. I confirmed this by writing the setting from 1.2.0, reverting to an older version of LightBurn. When reading the controller settings, itā€™s no longer ā€œAbsolute Originā€, but ā€œOriginā€ instead.

Which causes it to go to go the origin instead of staying at the initial location at the end of the job.

ā€œAbsolute Originā€ is the zero point of the machine. ā€œOriginā€ is the user origin set for the job. Which one do you have set in the hardware?

Which controller (actual model number) are you using?

I was referring to the return point in the machine setting. I have the following Ruida controller RDC6442S-B (EC).

After reverting to the previous version and loading my old settings from file, everything worked again as expected.

ā€œLoading my old settings from fileā€ - thatā€™s the part youā€™re missing. The name of the setting was actually changed, because ā€œAbsolute Originā€ is the machine zero point, and ā€œOriginā€ is the user origin point. It was backwards in our settings, and was switched.

If you read the controller setting with the new version, it should say ā€œOriginā€, not ā€œAbsolute Originā€. The old settings file is probably the issue.

Ah good to know. I will check if thats the issue
