Here is a version of the Inventables 1.0c with the safety door and the parking code disabled. See if that works for you.

Only from some speculative reading. I think it’s supposed to issue a Feed Hold and then stop the spindle and move it away from the work surface, then when the door closes moves the spindle back, start the spindle and do a cycle start.
But, I don’t really know.
I did some research in to this back in August, which is why I was bringing it up as a potential gotcha:
It’s possible somehow GRBL 1.0c changed the operation and it’s causing an issue.
The feed hold, cycle start, and probe pins all have the internal pull-ups active.
It’s pretty simple. The Atmega328P has an internal active circuit (I think it’s a MOSFET) that pulls a given pin up to 5 volts when that option is programmed into the chip. It acts like a high resistance (about 37K ohms) so that you can turn the pull-up on and then use a switch to ground to pull the pin low and the internal pull-up limits the current so you don’t burn out the pin grounding it.
The same thing can be accomplished outside of the chip by hooking a resister between +5 volts and the pin. Then the resistor becomes the pull-up and limits the current through the pin when you ground the pin.
It’s a convenience offered by the chip maker to make wiring up switches easier.
No, actually you don’t have to hook up any of them if you don’t want to use that function.
The safety door off grbl was just something to see if maybe some of the new 1.0c was misbehaving.
Were you able to successfully home with 1.0c? Looking through the code, GRBL would block homing if the safety door is tripped.
Again, I just mentioned it as a delta between versions as to what may be wrong.
So what do we need to tell the machine to do?
This example works with Arduino UNO and grbl v0.9j and UGS1.0.9

Set machine approx 2mm above the work area, do not forget to clip on your probe lead to the bit 
select the file and send. Remove the touch plate, push resume and the bit ends at the work surface top.
If you have trouble in finding the A5 pin you can also look for SCL which is a different name for the A5 pin. On my Shield:
And a live demo automatic zero
do you a part number or dimensions for the plastic case?
110x70x55mm found at my electronic store, says Teko from Italy but I was unable to find it online.
Not entirely. This morning I knew nothing about G-codes and after some reading I used your macro from a previous post and added a software pause and hardware resume with follow up movement. Now I know that a lot is possible. If this works for one axis it can be done for the other axis too.

I tried to import this in Easel but that is not allowed. There is some confusion about the hard and software implementation of grbl in the X-Controller. So maybe UGS is easier to do untill Inventables adds a function in easel that does probing.
The z-probe feature in Easel will work with the original X-Carve. You need to run the machine setup under the “Machine” menu. It will get to a page asking if you have a z-probe. If you do have one that works with other software it should work with Easel. Be sure to select the advanced option on the z-probe setup page, so you can enter the height of your device (if not using the one sold by Inventables).
You will need to make sure your arduino is updated to 1.0.
That is in contradiction of anything mentioned before, @Phil from my understanding you are running 1c can you please test that?
First, I don’t use Easel.
This thread made me curious to the point that I installed Easel Local (0.2.7) and grbl 1.0c to try it on my Arduino/gShield electronics (purchased from Inventables around 7/2015).
Probing worked.
I just did a quick test to see if the probe would work on my test setup, which is not hooked to a machine.
No, Feed Hold, Cycle Start, or Reset hook up. Just probe and homing switches.
If you can give me more details on the symptoms of the failure you are seeing maybe I can duplicate that here and see if I have a problem under similar circumstances.
After the positive message from Larry I decided to go to the bottom of this. Success
I went to the Inventables fork and downloaded the grbl library, copied the files to my Arduino and flashed my Arduino UNO with 1.0c. I upgraded Easel to version 0.2.7 and went to machine setup. Choose ShapeOko1 or 2, g Shield and finished setup. My ACME spindle differs from the standard so I used UGS to change that to the right value.
My touch plate is 19mm high and the Inventables only 15mm so the test pocket of 10mm deep should come out at 6mm. So it did.
I could not find a parameter for setting the touch plate thickness so my touch plate willl visit the lathe and lose 4mm.
I made no modifications to the Arduino. So with Easel I can use the Probe from Easel and with DevCAD where I get the g-code file I will use UGS and my macro file.
Seat of the pants guess.
Try it again with $6=0 and version 1.0c.
Go through the Easel machine setup screens as you normally would for a new machine.
After that is finished - make your grbl changes for your modified Z axis and homing switches, etc. as necessary.
Make sure that $10=115
Probe.
