Bitsetter Move to current Position grayed out

[bpk9p4 (Bradley)]

am having issue with the new software on my Shapeoko 3. I went to do the machine setup and setup my bit setter. The "move to current position button is grayed out. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. I am using 618 software.

You will need to adjust things so that it doesn’t run out of travel — probably the best thing to do would be to calibrate for belt stretch:

Calibrating the machines over long distances

The typical technique for machine calibration: https://my.carbide3d.com/faq/belt-stretch/ depends on precision measuring tools, and is limited by the reach of the tools in question. EDIT: It also depends on access to the MDI — if using Carbide Motion v6 it will be necessary to enable this in Settings | Options: [image] It should be possible to cut strips from a suitable blank of material, one along each axis — so we set up a square file which matches an available blank of material: [ima…

which should get you in the ball-park.
