Been using x-carve for almost 4 years now, all of a sudden Z wont work properly, wants to go up when I want it to go down…Have Direct drive, and also use J-Tech laser…Something has changed.
check for loose or damaged wiring.
and also IF its totally inverted, you can redo the machine setup and there’s a page where it asks you to test and verify proper directions, do this and answer the questions appropriately and easel will automatically correct the associated grbl setting.
I am trying to figure out why I had to disable my Z limit in order to get my Masuter Pro to be able to carve after using the z probe
I’m just guessing here based on what I have happened to me. The axis moves and contacts the switch, then reverses a certain distance. If your setting is not moving enough in reverse to open the switch…you might end up with where you are. Does it go to alarm mode?
See settings $20 through $27 in the chart below.

Yes, it goes to alarm mode. I have my machine set up through Easel Pro, as I am a beginner cnc user.
Woke up at 2am with the answer to my Problem. I Manually entered the current GRBL code, and than used the set up new machine under Easel…Fixed it. Easy Peasy…
