Hey Peter,
I personally just create the project and then export it as gcode, upload to acorn and burn, no need to do anything else, Lightburn can actually connect to other machines directly and send code like a controller, which is what i think they are working on. You just need to setup your ...

Okay so I testing this definitely needs to be changed back for a regular file to 4 which is the default value or it affects the cut. Just in case anyone else sees the issue. Now I just need to figure out if I can have a macro change it and if it requires a system reboot to take effect. If anyone ...

A little background - I am new to 4th axis and had an issue with the speed of my engraving using the 4th axis. I realized it was due to the program i used not adding the speed for the A axis in degrees/min separately and was able to get it to work by adding G93 to my file and using Inverse Time by ...

Okay i think i figured it out but leads me to one last question. I changed parameter 56 to 8 for inverse time and added a G93 to my gcode. My question is, can i leave that parameter and cut regularly or does it need to be changed back before i try to cut or machine a regular file without the A axis ...
