I am having problems with lightburn to g sender. When I export the g codes from lightburn my projects are not aligned with the x and y axis on g sender. Everything is on the negative side of the x and y axis. Help!
Having similar issue. Design project in Light Burn then save to g-code. When I open it up in gSender, my project is off by about 2 inches in the -y axis or 2 inches in the -x axis.
I’m hoping that it’s a setting I forgot to change or missed during set-up.
@Mayhem941 Welcome to the group, Christopher. I’ve deleted your duplicate post on the laserbeam announcement thread.
Please do not duplicate/cross post.
I am having the same issue was this ever explained on how to fix this?
@EricMac Neither of the other members posted back as to their progress.
If there are issues between the alignment of X and Y between LB and gSender, IMHO they most often come down to how the axes were set in LB and then set in gSender. It’s not a glitch/bug in gSender.
I get around this by simply burning in LB, but I know that others want to design in LB, then export gcode to gSender.
Maybe by renewing this conversation, someone will be able to give you a solution. I cannot, unfortunately.
PS. I’ve deleted the new topic that you started on this a few minutes ago. Please do not duplicate post.
Thank you
So I should be able to run my projects in lightburn and not have to save the g code and run it in Gsender?
@EricMac Yes, easily. I’ve never quite understood the rationale for designing in LB only to export the gcode to gS. To me, it just brings in another factor that can go wrong.
LB will talk directly to the Long Board using a USB/com port. It will also talk to the SLB through ethernet. Simple solutions are sometimes the best. 
Thank you for your help.
I am also curious about switching from the laser to the router. I see that I have to change $30 $31 and $32 in firmware. Will I have to change those values when switching back and forth?
To adress the question of why. In my situation, I design on a dedicated pc and fire away at the machine on its own pc. To me it makes no sence to -somehow- export (usb stick?) A gcode-file to the machine pc, close down gsender, and load it into lightburn while I can load gcode right into the remote gsender running on my design pc and if needed, start the program while zipping a cold beer.
One mans simple solution is another ones beer warming up.
@Spamming_Eddie Each to his own.
@EricMac If you are using a router, you can set parameters for the laser and leave them set that way. They have no effect on the operation of the router. If you are running a spindle, it’s a different story. $30 and $31 will affect it’s min and max speeds.
In terms of $30, it’s key that you set that to the same value as your Smax value in LB.
Thank you very much I appreciate the help.
