Hi
Complete newbie (51) here trying to help my dad (79) setup a shapeoko 3…
We have managed to successfully update to grbl 1.1
We can successfully create basic designs and paths in CC 764 (but with a work around….)
We can load and run in CM 632.
The problem is we have to select the “stock bottom’” of stock thickness rather than top when creating the project, otherwise the cutter tries to start at the bottom and crashes into the base board if we select “stock top”.
I was going to try to invert the z axis using mdi command, but then that seems to be the wrong thing to do as the z axis seems to initialise properly.
There are 3 limit switches fitted and operational on the axis’s.
We could keep running like this, but it seems to be against what dad has read on other posts.
Apologies if it’s already been covered, but I’ve tried searching on here, but may have not used correct terminology to get a result
If you continue to have difficulties, upload a .c2d file, step-by-step notes on how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes and a photo showing an attempt at cutting still in place on the machine with the machine at the origin (or a specified offset from there) and we will work through this with you.
We seem to have reverted back to normal operations following a hard power down of pc and shapeoko and now the stock top files seem to be working rather than the stock bottom ones!
