Advanced Settings

Connection Behavior​

Settings that control how Rayforge interacts with your machine during connection.

Home on Connect​

When enabled, Rayforge automatically sends a homing command ($H) when connecting to the machine.

  • Enable if: Your machine has reliable limit switches
  • Disable if: Your machine has no limit switches or homing is unreliable

Clear Alarms on Connect​

When enabled, Rayforge automatically clears any alarm state when connecting.

  • Enable if: Your machine frequently starts in alarm state
  • Disable if: You want to manually investigate alarms before clearing

Flip Axes​

These settings invert the direction of axis movements.

Flip X Axis​

Inverts the X-axis direction. When enabled, positive X moves left instead of right.

Flip Y Axis​

Inverts the Y-axis direction. When enabled, positive Y moves down instead of up.

Flip axes are useful when:

  • Your machine's coordinate system doesn't match expected behavior
  • You've wired your motors in reverse
  • You want to match the behavior of another machine
