Just finished assembling my brand new XCarve (1000x1000) and Dedicated Computer, but I just can’t get through the Machine Setup Step.
I have tried all what is written in the forum but still no results.
The device is recognized in the computer under Arduino Uno (COM 3), I uploaded the grbl-09j.hex provided by inventables through XLoader and uploaded/compiled grbl library in arduino software. What I still get is a blunt “Plug in your USB cable and turn on the machine” by Easel.
The computer is assembled by myslef, mainly :
ASUS Z97A motherboard
Inter Core i7 4ghz
16 Gb RAM
VGA Card AMD Saphire 4Gb
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Not being lazy, I tried the same on my DELL computer on Window 7 and still no results.
Please help, can’t wait to start the machine, knowing that that I had trouble getting it all together due to late shipment of missing parts (I am in Morocco).
If you have a powered USB hub, try that as well. If you don’t have one handy, try unplugging as many non-critical USB devices…leave only the mouse and arduino USB’s plugged in.
Well, Thanks all for your prompt contributions.
Here i where i am, little progress (I donno if yet it is…):
Deleted Easel Local 0.2.3 and went back installing the 0.2.2 version, it made a little progress. Though, please note that Easel Local never finishes installing… I am always obliged to force it to end through task manager, it always stucks at “verifying intallation”. I read that it doesn’t matter because of the nodejs module that is preintalled (through java). I just made sure to have the nodejs intalled also in the c:\EaselLocal and that nssm guide has the right path to node.exe and its folder.
