X-Carve Troubleshooting

limit switch for the x and z-axis does not work but it is well soldered.

@GerrySebastian

Please provide a little more information. What method are you using to test the switches and how are they failing?

3

have you enabled the limit functionality in the grbl settings?
By default it is disabled.

$21=1

4

how do i enable it?

5

when i do the homing sequence the x-axis does not move only the y-axis and it stops when i press its
limit switch. i redo the molex connectors and the x-axis motor does not move and limit switch still
does not work. how do i enable it on the grbl settings?

@GerrySebastian

Read these threads and see if you can use the Arduino IDE serial monitor to get the grbl parameters and post them here.

Those settings are pulled from whatever machine is connected. Plug the USB in and when the carve button turns green, open up the inspector again.

i found out this is not really necessary.
