I think I’ve thoroughly confused myself and I’m at a bit of a loss. I started out with an Ortur LM2. I then bought some extrusions and made it bigger. I then bought an Openbuilds Blackbox. I THEN bought an Openbuilds 1510 Acro (60"x40"). All of this time, Lightburn has been wonderful with the systems. However, now that I’ve finished the Acro, something is just screwy with my absolute coordinates. It seems simple enough to me, but I can’t figure it out.
When I home in the front/left and get the position, it’s (pretty much) my lasers travel limits in a negative coordinate. I can’t get it to be X0 Y0. It’s X-815.01 Y-1271.00. I never had this problem before and all of my systems homed in the front/left. A command of $# shows all zeros for my workspaces and the dot is in the lower left corner in device settings. What am I missing!? It’s driving me nuts, lol.
That will work, yes. I forgot to mention that I can shift the workspace to correct. I guess I’m just wanting to know/understand WHY it thinks the origin is in the top right, when it never did before.
I was under the impression this was a new machine. If so, it’s possible the firmware was developed with assumption of origin in a certain location or perhaps is not configured to set home to origin.
Actually, I think I figured it out. I retraced my steps when I first got the blackbox controller. I set it up using Openbuilds Control. They have buttons to set the ‘zero’ of the machine. It’s setting the workspace offset, lol! I’m guessing I’ve had an offset this whole time without realizing it. I knew it would be something simple/stupid!
