HELP! Need programming assist

[Loner]

I just did a test carve last night before bed, alls well, then this morning I went to do the carve and the bit bore deep into the wood and dug a ditch all the way across my project. This happened once before and inventables helped but it took them 2 days to get back to me, aint got that time. Something in the settings, i should have writtin it down, I think it was at the $100 and $101 or 110 & 111, right now the setting is 40 on both but I think its supposed to be something else. This project is supposed to be ready tonight. Anyone got an idea what its supposed to be? thank you The power went off last night which may have been a contributer.

Instead of re writing this all over, I’ll just link to my answer in another thread in how to change the settings.

Calibrating my X-carve 1000

The calibrations for accuracy are basically zeroing in on the steps per mm for the axes. Your machine has to be mechanically adjusted first, which you have done. It’s just a ratio of two numbers. What you want/ what you get. You multiply that by the number in the $100 and $101 for the x and y axis. For instance if you want x to go 10mm and it goes only 9mm, then 10 / 9=1.111 and you’d multiply that by the number you now have set for $100. It requires an accurate measuring device and yo…

Here is a thread on the default settings of a 500 mm x carve

X-carve Grbl Default Settings - 500mm

I’ve been helping folks get their X-carve machines up and running. I’ve learned a lot. One of the things that I have noticed is that the grbl parameters seem to be inconsistent, especially when the Arduino has to be re-flashed. Long story short I wanted to find out exactly what the defaults should be. I took a new Arduino and used the EEPROM clear example program to clear the contents of the EEPROM (1024 locations), compiled the source code for Grbl 0.9j, downloaded to the Arduino, then ask fo…

Thank you. What had happened, when the power went out then came back on of course the computer shut off and when I log back on it said I needed to reset my machine and I did, what I messed up on was accidentally clicked on the wrong controller I got the threaded rod instead of the Acme, my bad.
