Well, I got everything installed today (AWC608) and it was working great with engraving and cutting for about an hour... then I tried a picture that kept giving me a "Beyond Size Error". I was trying some of the recommendations in the FAQ and now I have a different problem I can't seem to figure out.
Series of events:
At first, when I turn on the machine, it goes to 0,0 (as it should) then it races off to the opposite corner (lower right) and crashes into the rails.
I then changed the ranges to 1200 and 900 and it stopped crashing into rails, but when at 0,0 (actual) it says it is at 600,450 and will not accept a reset when I push the reset button. Power off, power on and it does not reset. Nothing happens. When I try to use arrows to move, it goes for a bit, then says "Trigger Limit". So steppers and drivers seem to be working.
Any idea what is wrong? I have "Left_Up" set in all three places where it can be changes. I can make changes, but nothing "keeps" because I cannot hit reset. Edit: Some things do keep when I power off then on to do a hard reset.
Or... is there a way to do a "Factory Reset"? I have tried reformatting... but that didn't help. Oh, and I have tried all three "origin modes" with no differences. As a further clue, no matter what I change "Range" to in settings, display always says current position is half of what I set in "Range".
Can't reset origin and Reset button not working

Re: Can't reset origin and Reset button not working
Okay... another odd thing. I hit Pause/Continue and it starts with the last completed job (that is no longer in memory, I reformatted) and seems to move normally. I can only stop it though, I still cannot reset.
Now when I power off then on again, it does not reset to origin, but it asks me "Powercut' Continue?"
Reformat again, and now memory is really empty and I do not get "Powercut' Continue?" but back to nothing happening.
Additional info: Loaded first image of a square (used to measure and correct cut to 100mm) and it will run it correctly. Goes to 0,0. cuts, then stops. But power off/on does not seek home again, and reset button still does not work. When off, I move head to some random location, and at power on, it just stays there.

Re: Can't reset origin and Reset button not working
Okay... reloaded last patch and things were the same, but reset button works. Went through all settings (many were the same, a few were different) and hit save, then reset.
Now all is working again. I think I just scrambled the memory trying to engrave that bitmap. Weird.
