Hi Aldo,

Have you updated your Grbl settings
Type in console $131=936
Press enter

That should help

[PiniWini (Aldo Gutierrez)]

Thanks no I have not. Farely new and still trying to learn the software, I barely found this forum and there’s lots of great info here. I will see about that when I get home today. Thanks for your reply

Won’t stay at 936. After I type in $131=936 then enter it says ok ok but then I type in $$ enter and it says it’s still 432. I updated in XCS already and everything seems to be working there but I would like to continue using lightburn since pretty much everything I do is in lightburn

You might need to use XCS to update the D1 firmware first.

Sorry to step in.
You might want to give a look at this topic.

LightBurn home location with xTool extension kit

After setting xTool’s XCS to the extension kit use and LigthBurn to the new working are size, the software does not know where the actual home position is. This is because (I think) that at initialization, the $132 parameter is not set to the new size. However, my question is if that is supposed to be set by the XCS or LightBurn.
