If on one or more of the axis it’s making inverse movements, then no worries! That is exactly what this machine setup process is for! Just click “no” next to an axis in that case, and you’ll meet this screen:Ĭlick the first option that it is indeed not moving the right direction. Click these arrows and check if the machine is making the movements as indicated by the arrows.


Then you need to tell the controller what direction it needs to go to correspond with the movement command that it will receive when using the program: You see arrows next to X, Y and Z. Then it will take a moment to communicate with the controller. If your CNC is a workbee style, then enter these elements in the drop downs:Īnd click “confirm settings”. Here you find information on the GRBL settings should you wish or need to change them: You may also benefit from downloading the Arduino software, especially if your computer would otherwise not readily communicate with the controller (this is the case with windows in most cases).It may thereafter also prompt you to do “Machine setup” as well, which is fine if you use the controller with an x carve style CNC – if not, then it may alter some settings that are crucial for your machine and then you may need to change them thereafter again: you can do this under “Machine” => “Advanced” => “Machine inspector” If you work with the online easel software, then it will also prompt you to install a driver.Your computer may require a driver to use the controller: The controller works with a number of softwares for instance:
