Easel doesn’t save the machine setup so I have to go through setup on each new project
I use Windows 10, Microsoft Edge and the latest driver
Sorry to bump an old post, but I have the same issue. I think Easel used to save my machine settings (about 3 years ago?) but now every time I open it I have to redo all the Set up your machine steps. Is this the case for everyone or have I missed some step in the process? I only use the free version of easel with the original g-shield + Arduino, not the sexy black box X-controller.
After a bit of exploring, I found out I had grbl 0.9., so I decided to update this. It took about 3 attempts, one user error, one gave me another error, but third time was the charm. (Almost) I got a message saying
Global variables use 1646 bytes (80%) of dynamic memory, leaving 402 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.
All the same Easel worked when I tried to run an air carve. However, it still doesn’t save my machine settings. Can anyone suggest what to try next? Please? 
I’m also wondering about this. Do you have to got through ALL of the machine set-up from square one every time you want to carve something? I have a Z puck. I 'm actually having to go through the Z procedure twice to get to the point where you can use the puck to find Z zero. Surely this isn’t necessary. What am I missing here? FYI, I am using a Bob’s CNC E4.
I’ve had this same problem from day one. Why doesn’t Easel save my machine settings? I wouldn’t mind it if just confirmed my settings after hitting the Carve button. Am I missing something here? Is there a setting in Easel or my browser that is blocking the settings? Maybe someone from Inventables could chime in and confirm.
