X/y issue. Offset seems activated

My 2 co2 machines are fine, but I’m trying to help out my brother with a machine he just got.

Machine is 300mm X 600mm, using arduino UNO board.
limit switch are at lower left. HOMING in lightburn is perfect.
If I draw something in lightburn, when I try to frame it, it will try to go left and immediately bump the X left switch and spit an error.

If I draw something on the right half of the bed, it will frame perfectly.
It’s really like It simply can’t use the left part of the bed.

Offset isn’t set in lightburn.

Is the controller running GRBL?
Does Lightburn say Absolute Coords in the Laser Start From: box?
Does it say just GRBL in the lower right box of the Laser window?
Have you gone thru setting it up using this information:

Lightburn expects all motion be in the +X+Y quadrant. You likely have a settings issue if you are using Absolute coordinates.

Thanks for your reply. I actually found and solved the problem last night when I was at his place. The problem was in the Offset values ($# in console mode). Those are apparently supposed to be set to the same values as the bed size, but they weren’t. And on his machine, I had to set them to -1, -1 and that solved the problem.
Thanks for your reply !

Welcome, and glad you got it sorted out! Be sure mark it solved to help the next guy that comes along. :grin:
