LAOS Laser

Correction: in the rest of the LaOS software, Ymax is the upper corner.

Is it a documentation issue or a Visicut-wide problem? When sending jobs with Visicut the Y axis is flipped. I haven't been able to get the CUPS driver to work so I can't verify if it has to do with my config.txt or with Visicut.

my guess is that it can be solved in the config file: make ysteps positive again and define ymax as very large positive

That solves the problem in this case, but of course only works if that configuration is used in conjunction with VisiCut.

In any case, (0,0) SHOULD BE "lower left corner".
If you send this file:
0 0 0
1 10000 20000
You should end up with a diagonal line from the lower left corner,
10mm in X direction (left to right) and 20mm in Y direction (bottom to top). As seen from the
Front of the laser. If the pstoedit driver or visicut thinks otherwise, it's config file should be altered.
There is info on the wiki how to change the pstoedit config. Look for the new "postscript" config file.

Okay, with the settings that work for Visicut the 0,0 point is in the top left corner. I'll see if there's a way to adjust the Visicut settings.

After a discussion with Thomas Oster, we decided to look into this matter after the Laos Workshop.
We will most likely fix the matter in Visicut, and make the LEFT/RIGHT and scale parameter fixed in the visicut driver, so you cannot set them incorrectly

Hi,
in VisiCut the laos driver is updated to always use the lower-left-corner as (0/0), so the problem should be fixed. Be sure to always set the bed-size correctly.

cheers
