Firmware Settings

You can find and change firmware settings using Easel's Machine Inspector.

3rd party machine users can view their settings but will need to reach out to the manufacturer for correct values.

*if you have the pre-November 2021 X-Carve machine with the 2021 upgrades kit then you need the November 2021 Upgraded Firmware settings. If you are not sure see Walkthrough Tutorial: Machine Profile Set Up

How to find Firmware Settings

Turn on your machine, connect to Easel and open any project. In your project, go to Machine > General Settings > Machine Inspector. If your machine is powered on and connected you will see your Firmware settings listed under Console.

How to change individual Firmware Settings

Open the Machine Inspector (Machine > General Settings > Machine Inspector). In the Console, type your new settings into the box one at a time, then press enter. Do this for each incorrect setting. Example:

$1=255

Enter

Then, once you have corrected all the settings you can send the command:

$$

This will display your Firmware settings there in the command line, you can ensure that all of your changes are saved. If you want to see the settings at the bottom, there is a small refresh on the right side of the settings box, or close out of the Machine Inspector and re-enter it.
