I having a hard time trying to get Fusion 360 to start the milling process from the Home coordinate. I set the origin point in the setup tab and added all the cutting requirement as needed for the project, but every time I load the gcode into Lowrider 2 it goes straight to the first cutting process location. When this happen I can never tell where to place the cutting material on the table.
I moved the drill head to where I want it to start because that is the home position I indicated in Fusion 360 and it usually at the lower left corner of the material board, but it never work when its loaded into the system to cut!!
Here are the gcode: How do I get it to start at starting point?

I try starting at the point but it never works…its always goes straight up and start cutting or drilling process. It mess the cutting process every time then I have to guess every time where the bit start from the position I set on the board. I would set the location I want it to start with all coords at 0,0,0, but it doesnt not recognize it in the Rambo board. I even used the “Set Home Offset” to 0,0,0…and it still doesn’t work…its get really frustrating to guess every time now…
That is exactly what you are telling it to do. You have a fusion cam issue, something with clearance plane and starting point. This says from zero move up to 15, move drill down to zero. Either correct your starting location (top of the material not bottom) Or use estlcam where it is much less convoluted to do the same setup.
Finally got it fixed!!! I set the X,Y, and Z right in Fusion 360 but I wasn’t paying attention to the direction each coordinate was running!!! There are little arrows on each axis point the direction flow…I had to go back and re-wired the setup so each axis is running in that direction!!!
Now its working right after the re-wiring!!! It process for the point of origin set in Fusion 360 now…
just more stuff to learn…question Ryan…did you lock the firmware in the Rambo board? is there a way for me to unlock it and allow updates in command? I can’t even do a M500 for save on it…
