I am using the same laser as Russ, with the Ruida 644XG controller. It just seems like its not communicating this position to the computer software. Strangely, when I reset the laser, the head always returns to the origin that I set.

I'm currently using LightBurn, but I experience the same problem in RDWorks. I have also deleted and reinstalled my software. I have reset the origin on the control panel several times, and the problem still persists. This is causing a big problem because I'm using jigs that were made off of my set origin, but now that the laser is working from the absolute origin all the time none of my jigs are lining up.

In the software, the green origin square used to always be near the upper left corner where I have it set on my controller, but now the green user origin box is attached to whatever piece of artwork I draw.

Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to cut a job and noticed that the software is no longer recognizing my set user origin, and is basing everything off of the absolute origin. This origin was near the absolute origin, but inset slightly to accommodate an upgraded table.

I used to have all of my work begin from the user origin that I set using the origin button on the Ruida controller. I recently noticed a change in the way my software and laser communicate.
