Do you have a BitSetter?
Can you give more details?

After it homes?
Do you have a BitSetter?
no just purshed new to the cnc game .it will home then move forward tell me to instll a bit then home again z moves down makes a noise and give me a probe error
You have the BitSetter option checked. Uncheck it.
bit sitter is unchecked
Restart Motion and try again.
ok seems to have worked says load job.
Time for the marker pen and the carbide sample file
where do i find that file
Here you go
Looks like we need Carbide3D instant messaging - actually is there a discord or something?
Edit: Search is an amazing thing - Shapeoko Users Discord
i cant find the file
There’s a link on the page;
Download Shapeoko 3 - Hello World
In that zip file is box_logo.nc which is the file you open in Carbide Motion to draw the logo with the pen.
that file isnt in my download
should i delete and reinstall hello world
box_logo.nc (35.6 KB)
Here’s the Hello World file extracted from the zip file: download that, save it in a directory of your choosing.
Then follow the tutorial (at https://docs.carbide3d.com/tutorials/hello-world/) step by step to get familiar with loading files in Carbide Motion, setting zeroes, and running a job.
If you can’t get it from the links here, write in to support@carbide3d.com and we’ll e-mail you the files.
