SmoothStepper USB / Re: MAch4 ESS with Laser Raster images don't return to 0,0 and laser on during jog

. I was however able to resolve one of the issues. The laser on full power after a motion command. The profile from AVID CNC by default had the X-Y Velocity PWM turned on. So with any movement PWM signal would come out of the ESS. Turning this off resolved that issue even though I am not using P3-16. See attached screenshot
I’m down to just the one issue of engraving a raster image does not return to 0.
The best way to describe it is that after the raster is done the Y axis will always got up after it’s done. I thought about my axis being flipped wrong but it doesn’t matter how I engrave the image lower left, upper left, lower right or upper right when done the Y axis goes up by the exact dimension of the image.
I also have noticed that the setting for flipping the image on the Y axis doesn’t work. It is always set/checked in the GUI and when looking at the diagnostics it is always a -1 while all other items are what one would expect either 0/off or 1/on. I’m unable to get the flip_Y to do anything and this could be related to my issue as it’s the Y axis that moves in the wrong direction. See attached reg screenshot
