No I am not. After the laser operation homes, I exit Picsender, and then open Easel.

That’s the problem.

As long as you stay in PicSender and select the appropriate device for your job (ether spindle or laser) then PicSender will load in the correct grbl parameters for that job.

If you use any other program to access Xcarve_JTech_grbl then you have to make sure that the parameters that are loaded are the correct ones for the device that you are going to use.

The easiest way to do that is to select the device that you want to use with the other program before you leave PicSender.

That’s what I was attempting to say in the link provided above. Maybe I did that poorly.

Here it is again. If it’s not clear, please give me some idea as to how to say it that makes it easier to understand.

Xcarve_JTech_grbl (usage notes)

For those of you that use multiple programs to send your g-code to the X-carve remember that the grbl settings are persistent even through a power off cycle. Be careful to make sure that you have the correct parameters loaded into grbl when you start a laser or spindle job. If you use PicSender exclusively, all you need to do is to select the applicable mode and PicSender will take care of loading the proper grbl parameters for that job. If you leave PicSender to use an alternate method of send…
