Bit Setter problem- machine crashes when initializing

I just got my bit setter plugged in and set up. I followed the directions from - here

During the setup I noticed that my default XY limits were set to 800+mm which I assume is one of the larger sizes, even though I had the standard size selected in the settings. I went ahead and changed them to the 350-400mm range that my machine has. I double checked all the GRBL settings and from what I know, they’re correct.

SO heres the problem - When I initialize the machine, it goes through the homing cycle and then rapids to center X and crashes against the front (Y negative) plates. I assume it’s trying to make a tool change, but the settings are wrong, so it never gets to the Y position before it crashes.

My guess is that my problem lies in the same issue that caused the standard XY limits to be that of the larger machines. I have tried reseting the GRBL to ensure I had the standard size selected, but it only changed them back to the incorrect settings. I looked up the tool change location and see it is hard-coded, so I’m now looking for the answer as to why my machine thinks it’s twice as big as it is.

thanks for the help

Did you “Send Configuration”?
Carbide Motion does its own thing that can be independent of your grbl settings.

Yes. When I hit that, it resets any changes i’ve made and goes back to the XY being set to 850/845 mm

Did you follow the procedure here?

I had to update carbide motion, But I followed that page, and still no luck. out of curiosity, i tried to change it to a different machine default. When I hit send configuration, it only resets back to these settings regardless of what I select or manually input. -

Sorry, I don’t use Motion, but I’m sure @WillAdams would be able to help out.

Well thanks for trying. I haven’t gotten into any other control software yet, this is all relatively new to me.
