Hi All,
I am a few weeks into using the trial version of Lightburn with a Genmitsu 4040-Pro. I’ve had a great time with it to-date, until today.

I have everything set on my trusty MacBook Pro. I prefer the Mac when designing and for general use. Today, I needed to get work done so I had the idea to set up Lightroom on a fairly new PC laptop. This way I can design in comfort and send the files to the PC and carve away in the shop.

That’s the backstory. My first use on the PC, the y axis was reversed. I sent the $3=2 code and it fixed the X, but the Z became flipped. Down was up. I went to home it and it crashed the laser into the board. I toyed with the program settings for a bit and gave up.

I got the MacBook back to the shop and plugged it in. Now Z continues to be reversed. I’ve turned Z on and off in the Device Settings. I selected invert. It continues to be inverted.

When I sent the console code, did that change something in the Controller? If so, how do I reset?

      "My first use on the PC, the y axis was reversed"

This was likely caused by an incorrect Origin setting in Edit->Device Settings.
Revert all GRBL settings to original and match the Origin setting on the PC as you have on Mac.
