Please note any mechanical or hardware-related issue will need to be supported by your machine provider. Please ensure your machine is working before troubleshooting with Easel. Please note, making firmware changes is at your own risk. We also recommend referring to the manufacturer for instructions as they know your machine best.
If you have successfully setup your machine but it stops moving almost as soon as you start the Carve, it may be your machine has Soft or Hard Limits enabled.
When Hard Limits are enabled and your machine approaches these limits, it enters a locked state which may require a complete restart.
Soft limits are a safety feature to help prevent your machine from traveling too far and beyond the limits of travel. It works by knowing the maximum travel limits for each axis and where Grbl is in machine coordinates.
To resolve the stopping issue, you could try disabling soft or hard limits by changing the $20 (Soft Limits) or $21 (Hard Limits) value from Easel's Machine Inspector console.
You can open up the Machine Inspector by going to Machine > Machine Inspector. In the Console, you can disable hard limits by typing one of the following commands:
$20=0$21=0
Press Enter. You should receive the "OK" message.
You can now exit the Machine Inspector and try carving again.
