I have the xTool S1 and I can’t get it to move with the move arrows even with the lid shut. Will lightburn be able to make the software more compatible with the S1? And is there a way of enabling the move buttons?

Shouldn’t be hard to bypass that interlock. Of course, I still drive vehicles without ABS brakes (manual windows, three pedals, carburetor, distributor w/points, etc) and ride motorcycles similarly archaic…so…I’m used to managing my own safety rather than relying on a computer to do it for me… If …

All of the functions I referenced above occur while the Laser is not engaged. There is a trick I discovered. If you place a magnet at the corner where the door closes the machine thinks that the door is closed and will allow the functions to operate with the door open. It’s just kind of a pain putti…

[image] lastingimage: If XTool’s Creative Space allows these functions with the door open I imagine it is something Lightburn could implement. That’s why I brought it to their attention. This is not as trivial as that. This assumes Xtool allows access to such functions and is willing to allo…

I didn’t mean to insinuate that it would be easy to implement these functions with the door open. It is well known how XTool uses proprietary code and is not very forthcoming with this info to other developers. I find Lightburn to be far superior to XTool’s Creative Space. I have the Beta version of…

I have spent quite a while trying to figure out how to do this and honestly I can’t find anything in the serial comms that says “hey the doors open but its cool, it’s just a jog” What I have found is that jogging on this machine is completely pointless. The motors are closed loop and the machine al…

True, I don’t really have occasion to jog. It won’t frame with the door open so I find myself closing the door toe frame, executing the frame, opening the door to move the wood and then having to close the door to frame again.

I don’t know if this falls into the same category as proprietary code but if you use the Focus function in Creative Space and then Home the head it maintains the Z height that you focused to. In Lightburn if you focus and then Home the head it rises on the Z Axis as it goes home and you have to re-f…

Can you issue the discreet axis homing commands in console? $HX and/or $HY ($HZ, should it be required). If so, you could set up a simple macro to home only X/Y.

This is fixed in the new version with the xTool device type. Check the instructions I linked above.
