    I have my lightburn and cnc setup such that functions correctly when lightburn is running the show, however when I export gcode from lightburn using a properly formatted usb, and try to then run that usb through the touch interface I get repeated errors.

    Is this a lightburn gcode issue?

    The interface was reading error 2, and then error 25 and starting the program and then stopping it. I can't tell if the laser is firing correctly or not through the touch interface yet since the program hasn't gone far enough. When not attempting to run the lightburn gcode the interface appears to be functioning correctly.

    I am using a 24w JTech laser and have a blackbox x32.
    The USB was formatted when I received my lead cnc machine, does the USB need to continue to be reformatted?
    The touch interface has continued to indicate that it is up to date.

    That is correct, current and no known bugs related to streaming.

    Please post the gcode file

    Errors 2 and 25 indicate malformed gcode, but could also be EMI. Is the Interface's data cable router clear of any AC, Stepper motor wiring, or other sources of EMI? docs:blackbox-x32:faq-emi [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Would those errors only show up when using the interface? The light burn program runs its program without issue?

    cutting out full run numbers otherwise the gcode is huge. I can add full gcode if desired.
