Yes X-Loader saying uploaded xxx bytes.
I uploaded hex file name is grbl_09i_x-carve.hex.
Sam sent me different file today also. Name was grbl0_9i_X_Carve_500mm_ACME.hex
Everything going worse anything I try.
@AlanDavis we wouldnât charge you if you had a bad Arduino and Gshield we would replace them for you free of charge.
Do you have the Ardunio IDE installed to see if you can connect to the arduino?
Ye I do,
It is communicating,
When you plug in the Arduino can you send a screen shot showing it is connected correctly? That will rule out a bad Arduino.
OK. Close the IDE.
Close UGS if you have it open.
Now open Easel. Does the Carve button go from Blue to Green?
hi
i did the same but nothing useful
i have the same result
Hi Alan,
Please follow these steps:
-
Close all programs that might be trying to connect with your Arduino (Easel, Universal G Code Sender etc.)
-
Open the Arduino IDE
-
Go to File - Examples - EEPROM - eeprom_clear
-
Make sure the number that this pink arrow is pointing to is 1024 and NOT 512
-
Click the arrow in the top left of the IDE
-
Once the sketch has uploaded close the IDE and open X Loader
-
Upload the hex file, be sure the baud rate is set to 115200
-
Close X loader and open Universal G Code Sender
-
Type $$ and paste the results into this thread

RESOLVED.
This machine never been this smooth and accurate. It was flying when doing homing cycle.
First day I was trying that first test image, it was huge. I thought they put big image to show how fast machine theyâre producing.
So far so good. By the way, Mohammad have no success, I believe he didnât put 1024 on the belonging place on that file. Because it is empty. I just copy from your screen image.
NowâŚThe easy part, can you do me a favor and find out the part numbers for the items I broke while battling, then I can order.
Limit Switch
Smallest and one size bigger two spiral bits (Next one is .125 spiral and flute, theyâre good.)
Thank you sooo much for your help.
Hi Zach,
TaitLeswing solved problem. Machine is working like a charm.
Sorry if I give you a hard time. Thanks.

Hi Alan,
So glad your machine is working smoothly! Have fun and happy carving.

Thanks, I asked you a favor to find part numbers, but I donât even know if youâre working for Inventables. Please discard if youâre not.
No worries, Alan. I do work for Inventables, Iâm lucky enough to run the shop and work on the product team here.
I think these are the parts yourâe looking for:
Thanks, ordered.
Just for the info. Those numbers are changing after machine setup on Easel. After that change, Easel working smooth
but Gcode sender not holding Z axis, hitting Level switch and grinding. Thatâs all I have to work, I learned how to erase eeprom from you if I screw. All projects are waiting on VCarve pro for good GCode sender results.
Thanks again.
The $$ numbers from UGS I posted was before Easel,
Here is new numbers after Easel machine setup.
ok

@AlanDavis I think you chose âM8 threaded rodâ in the Easel setup instead of ACME rod. I checked your order and you did purchase the ACME rod. Try going through the setup again and selecting ACME rod. This should solve your Z issues.
Oups I know I miss that. Let me change. I do have Acme.
i do all the steps but no useful
my problem is my Arduino refused to reset, i try all the way to clear Eeprom or rest it but no way
i chick all the forum to how rest but still the same
i donât know where is the problem
please help.
