Lightburn Help
Quote from brianvanh on March 12, 2019, 1:10 amJust installed my new mini gerbil and am a new LightBurn user. I am able to connect to the laser and get it to home properly, however when I attempt to engrave an image (or cut a box), the laser moves to its starting point, begins to fire, but then immediately stops. I also notice that with the laser switch turned off, everything seems to work fine and the laser moves through its progression properly. If I turn the laser switch back on, it doesn't work. I've also noticed that if I lower my speed/power way down, I can get it to work (with the laser switch on)....but it obviously barely makes a mark on the material because of the low speed/power.
I'm not near my laser now so I can't output my LightBurn settings, but I thought I'd post on the off chance that someone could share some advice? TIA.
