Y axis will not move

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility
1

Hi there,
I am new to lasers and have got stuck on day one, my machine is a Masuter pro with a laser tree laser, all was fine finding the laser and allocating the com port it then homed fine.
However when trying to move the laser there is only moment on the x axis. (nothing on Y at all)
its strange because moving the machine using g code sender works fine, and it will home on all three axis no problem in lightburn. How do I get the thing to move in the axis please?
cheers
Phil.

It’s possible that you’re working in a negative coordinate system. After homing, what is the reported position if you push “Get Position” in Move window?

If either of the XY values are negative then you’re in a negative coordinate system and would need to change that for LightBurn to work correctly.

Take a look here:
Common GRBL/GCode Setups - LightBurn Software Documentation

If that’s not the issue can you provide the following:

  1. Full screenshot of LightBurn
  2. Do jogging controls in Move window work correctly? Left moves left, right moves right. Do Y controls also not work here?
  3. Run these commands in Console and return the full output:
$H
$I
$$
$#
?

thanks for your help, its turned out somehow I had 360mm for x and 3.6 mm for Y
now I have reset x360 and Y360 its working much better. by the way where is the move window?

By default Move window would be in upper-right docking pane along with Cuts / Layers window.
