hi
my xcarve has worked ok prior to now
i updated firmware via machine inspector and now my xcarve doesnt work properly
it moves backwards
the step moves are way off
motors sound different
i cant use it now and i need to run a program
does anyone have default settings for xcarve using GRBL 1.1
my xcarve is older 2016 version 1000mm stock
i dont use homing limits
it appears all of my grbl settings are just grbl 1.1 default and not xcarve settings
i was instructed to update firmware via easel and this is what it gave me…incorrect settigns
Your values are WAYYYYY off from default Xcarve. Especially max feed rates.
Try these:
$2 = 0 (step port invert mask:00000000)
$3 = 3 (dir port invert mask:00000011)
$4 = 0 (step enable invert, bool)
$5 = 0 (limit pins invert, bool)
$6 = 0 (probe pin invert, bool)
$10 = 115 (status report mask:01110011)
$11 = 0.020 (junction deviation, mm)
$12 = 0.002 (arc tolerance, mm)
$13 = 0 (report inches, bool)
$20 = 0 (soft limits, bool)
$21 = 0 (hard limits, bool)
$22 = 1 (homing cycle, bool)
$23 = 3 (homing dir invert mask:00000011)
$24 = 25.000 (homing feed, mm/min)
$25 = 750.000 (homing seek, mm/min)
$26 = 250 (homing debounce, msec)
$27 = 1.000 (homing pull-off, mm)
$30 = 1. (rpm max)
$31 = 0. (rpm min)
$100 = 40 (x, step/mm)
$101 = 40 (y, step/mm)
$102 = 188.443 (z, step/mm)
$110 = 8000.000 (x max rate, mm/min)
$111 = 8000.000 (y max rate, mm/min)
$112 = 500.000 (z max rate, mm/min)
$120 = 500.000 (x accel, mm/sec^2)
$121 = 500.000 (y accel, mm/sec^2)
$122 = 50.000 (z accel, mm/sec^2)
$130 = 790.000 (x max travel, mm)
$131 = 790.000 (y max travel, mm)
$132 = 100.000 (z max travel, mm)
You’ll need to tweak/modify the following based on your machine:
$22 needs to change to 0 if you don’t use homing switches
$100, $101, and $102 will need to be calibrated to your specific machine
$3 needs to be changed depending on how you wired your steppers. Easel setup is a good place to tune that.
Thank you that helped…i was wrongly told that updating grbl via easel would not affect my current grbl,settings…
Now i know
GRBL itself changes the settings when you upgrade from 0.9 up to 1.1. This is due to the changes in the configuration values between versions. I don’t think Easel is directly to blame.
Hi
I was told by inventables that updating firmware in easel will not affect my xcarve grbl,current settings vlaues
They,were wrong
Its ok now…i changed the grbl values
Yes, they are wrong.
If you are upgrading from certain versions to new versions (for instance v1.0c to v1.1f), it will not trigger GRBL’s resetting. If you are going from 0.9 to 1.1, it will because there are new $$ config settings.
It literally says this on the GRBL v1.1 page (GitHub - gnea/grbl: An open source, embedded, high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino):
“IMPORTANT: Your EEPROM will be wiped and restored with new settings. This is due to the addition of two new spindle speed ‘$’ settings.”
So not exactly sure why Inventables would tell you that.
Hope you’re back up and running now.
yes seetings are ok now but have another issue thats all too common on txcarve
horrible losing steps and i cant use the machine…will address when i get time
one reason why i hate the xcarve…its just not very reliable…due to belts v wheel design
Forvthe price of a cnc router you can buy a used full blown bridgeport cnc…and comparing the two isnt even a topic for discussion lol[quote=“RalfFerly, post:1, topic:66340, full:true”]

Correction their
Anyways my settings are ok now so thanks again everyone
Also,i do believe the 110 111 112 also,control,g0 rapid feed rate like the other person said per grbl,website.
Link?
Look on clist and facebook you will find them for 1-3k used
I almost bought a nice cnc lathe its only $1900 on marketplace…its a full blown cnc shop,lathe…couldnt believe the price but i have nowhere to put it
I may still buy it…have to make room
Also…i think im going to reduce the stock $ accel,and max rates…i dont like the jerky motion and its not good for the machine…ill,experiment tomorrow,and adjust somthey seem more controlled…this will maybe reduce losing steps
A lot depends which build you uploaded.
If you enter the command $RST=$ grbl will load the parameters that were specified as default when that build was made. Inventables is not very good about updating the defaults,
