Hey all,
I recently loaded Easel, which I don’t use that often, and it asked me to upgrade the Easel drivers. I didn’t do it right then, but it also alerted me to upgrade my Grbl firmware to 1.0c. I did that and it ran me through the setup after. Now, it seems, that UGS is acting wonky. Sometimes, after I zero X,Y and Z, and start the carve, it raises higher than it normally does and goes off in the opposite direction. It does work sometimes, but it is sporadic, so I am not sure what I am doing. Also, when I do the zeroing, the speed the bit moves is VERY slow at times, but then it works sometimes like it did before. I didn’t change the probing commands (except for the bit size) that I got from Charley’s spreadsheet.
I am using a May 10, 2016 nightly build version 2.0 of the classic UGS because it has worked for me and I’ve been scared to risk tumbling the house of cards by upgrading :). Here are my grbl settings. They seem to be the same as the were before. Should I upgrade to 1.1f that is on the X-carve grbl fork?
