I have a Inventables X-Carve 1000 with a JTech laser. I imported a file from LightBurn to OpenBuilds Control which is also connected to a X 32 Black Box and the 24V OpenBuilds power supply. When I ran the file I noticed that when the laser moved to another part of the file it was leaving a line. What would cause this and how do I fix the problem? Thanks, Duane
That was it. Thanks! So if I read that right if I want to use the router I have to edit $32? Also, the only way I can turn the laser off is to click the Abort icon. Is that right?? Could you look at my other post? Don't know how to set a link so hope this works. Cannot get the router to turn on
Yes, you can create yourself two macros $32=0 and $32=1 respectively, or add it to your relevant gcode toolchains so laser jobs has $32=1 in the header and cnc jobs has $32=0 in the header. With Laser Mode "stop" etc should also turn it off. Use ToolOn/ToolOff menus to test.
Ok. That seems to work. The only question is in the laser mode when I "turn on" the laser it comes on before I start the job leaving a burn mark. So how do I set the power % before starting the job?
So how do I set the % of power without using the Turn on icon? Peter, I found my answer. I set up the settings I want in LightBurn then save to Gcode. When I import that file the settings are right at the start of the Gcode.
The menu's more for for testing... Your GCODE does all that for you - IE lightburn adds it into the Gcode (S-Value) See docs:software:lightburn [OpenBuilds Documentation]
