Hi there, I came across this site after almost completing the build of my machine and was thinking of trying to use Easel to control it, do I have to buy a licence or can I just use it without anything to pay?
In the settings it shows only the two X-carve machines to connect to, is it possible to connect it to my own machine.

Welcome!
Easel is totally free to use. You can use it by going to http://app.easel.com/.
Unfortunately Easel only works with the arduino-based Grbl motion control software. What kind of machine are you using?

Hi Paul,
My machine is a home build I just shopped around for parts when I decided to build one I used the 20mm aluminium profiles for the frame and used 12 mm supported liner rails and 12 mm ball screws with NEMA 23 stepper motors I was trying to buy the best I could for the money I had but I have to say I spent quite a lot more in the end than just buying one of your machines directly but when I started I had not come across this web site I have wired it up to a usb cnc controller that can use Mach 3/4 but after looking at the Mach software I think it is a little complicated for what I want, all my machine will be used for is home projects as I do not work and am disabled and just wanted to try it as a hobby but if i cannot use Easel then I will have to try something else.
thanks for your reply,
Regards Poppy Ann.
