USB. Using the send and start commands like I always do.
You mean you have tried both ways (you are using Send or Start) and seeing the same result independent of the method of running the job?
Is the symptom random or is it consistent with every job? Does the area of shifted engraving stay consistent?
I was not aware that I could just start without sending the job first. So I always send it and then press start. The offset error appears to be completely random and is never the same twice.
Just reinstalled 9.2.0 and ran the file and no errors! I is possible that there is a bug in 9.2.1?
And I prefer to send first before I start the job so I can check the framing first.
Test number two came out perfect. It’s a bug in 9.21
I don’t know if this is helpful or not, but another thing I noticed was that my default speed setting in 9.20 was 200mm/sec. When I imported machine settings in 9.21 that setting said 199.99. Upon re-installing 9.20 the setting was 200 again.
The new release, 9.22, appears to have resolved the bug. Great work guys!
Argh! I spoke too soon. The glitch just showed up again. Switching back to 9.21.
If you are willing, please have a look at this post and let us know if this resolves the issue.
I don’t have a “Packet USB” option. The only option besides Serial USB is Ethernet.
Which OS, which Ruida controller model number and firmware is installed?
MacBook Pro, Big Sur 11.2.3, Ruida 644XG. I cannot seem to find where y firmware version is. Note that everything works as expected with the older version of Lightburn. Same file, setup, parameters, and material in both etchings, one run immediately after the other. The only difference is the version of Lightburn.
Yes, we understand. The firmware should be displayed on your HMI panel on the front of the laser when you first power the machine.
Can you also tell us the exact model number found on the sticker placed on the control board itself, found inside the laser?
KT332N (EC). But no firmware version info appears on the Ruida controller panel on startup. It just says “connecting to laser”, then displays the usual stuff with a message saying that the uy axis is resetting. This is because I have a rotary connected.
I just want to double-check this. The KT332N (EC) is from the sticker on the control board, correct? 
Just checking back to see if there is any progress on my reported “bug”. I would really like to upgrade from v9.2.1 but every version later than that exhibits the x-bug.
Here is the latest from Oz. In general, the corporate move, on-boarding new staff, further build-out and expansion of internal resources while continuing to support a growing user community and business… We are unpacking and setting up in the new digs as we speak. This has impacted our development efforts, but things are getting sorted, we are settling in and getting back to our normal routine.
