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.
