Near the top of each will be three check boxes: If it's moving in in the wrong direction, you'll have to hit the ESC button on the controller itself to stop it.īring up Machine Settings in LightBurn, and go to the Vendor settings section at the bottom, and open the X axis and Y axis Settings. When you power up the laser, the first thing it will do is move toward the corner it thinks those switches are at to home itself. Note that the Ruida homes using the X- and Y- limit switches. Locate the switch at the end of the X axis, and the one for the Y axis. They might be physical lever-type micro switches, optical beam-break switches, or inductive proximity sensors. Homing, Directions, and Travel ¶Ī DSP laser will have homing switches - one on each axis. The first section is general configuration, and then there are settings that are specific to each axis, followed by a Laser section, for configuration specific to the laser type. Click it to 'unroll it' and you'll see something like this:
In the bottom of the Machine Settings window is a heading called Vendor Settings. 'Write' commits the settings in LightBurn back to your controller. 'Load' will read settings from a file back into memory. The 'Save' button will write all settings to a file. The 'Read' button tells LightBurn to read the settings from the controller (this happens automatically when you open the Machine Settings window). It's also a good idea to back up the initial settings before you change them, so you can go back to what you had if you make a mistake and can't remember what you did. The lower section, under 'Vendor Settings' are things usually configured for you by the factory and should only be changed if you have a good reason for doing so. The top section of the list is referred to as user settings - these are settings that are intended to be tunable by the user if necessary. LightBurn will open the Machine Settings window and read the configuration from your controller. With the laser connected to your computer, go to the bottom of the Edit menu and click Machine Settings.
Chances are you already have, which is why you're here. If you are installing a new controller into a machine, you will need to perform the configuration that is normally done for you by the factory.Ī somewhat common mistake for new users is doing a 'factory reset' of their controller - this resets it to the stock configuration supplied by Ruida, not the configuration applied by the company that set up your laser, so it's not recommended to do this. When purchasing a laser with a DSP controller installed, the factory making the machine configures the laser controller for you to tell the controller how fast and in what directions to move, where the homing switches are, and so on.
