Hi , Lightburn uses grbl 1.1f and from what i could gather $30=255 in that version. Regardless, whatever setting you choose for $30 must equal the setting you have in s-max under your device settings. A couple of suggestions you might want to upgrade to Grbl 1.1h LongMill build Sept 8, 2021firmware settings. I notice in your settings that $30=100, however the default setting for ver 1.1h is $30=1000. So my Sienci Longmill is set with $30=1000 in firmware and 1000 in under device settings s-max is set to 1000. For test firing % , I use .10% This works for me
I sure wish you could figure out what exactly what your problem was. I can't even get the led light to come on in the box. The other light comes on signifying power to the fan and the box but not the laser.
A person on the long-mill Facebook page told me how to fix it. To be honest it has been so long I forgot how I fixed it. I will look at my long-mill this evening and see if I can remember. I think it was a wiring issue. It is easy to get the two connectors mixed up which surprisingly will not fry the unit.
Hey, send in a technical ticket, if you use the word laser it'll go straight to me and we can figure out how to get you up and running. sienci.com/contact-us/
@@kentharris7427 I found a post saying to switch the dipswitch from 5 to 4. When I did, and rehomed, and reset the driver. I could run a job and when I clicked stop the laser would stay on. If I clicked Fire, it would turn off the laser after the job was over. Whereas on 5 it didn't seem to do anything. I have changed the smax's in gsender and lightburn to 255. But I can't seem to be able to get the thing to focus well, yet... I also found something that said it matters if you launch gsender or lightburn before the other. Still havne't got Gsender laser on, laser off or test laser to work. Have to use Gsender and that still won't test laser at all.

Hi Kent, I just installed my Longmill laser and I am having the exact same problem. Can you share how you resolved this issue?
