This meant that the two stepper motors on the Y axis shared a stepper driver. I use windows 7 and would be open to suggestions for a simple solution. I Use Inventor and have fusion 360 but need to find the time to learn how to use it with x carve. I am sure it has something to do with the plethora of options for router setups but if it doesn’t come plug n play how can I make mine that way? It would really make it plug n play for new users. Then you could place a part on grid at 15"x15" for instance and type in the coordinate in easel and it begins routing there. I think this could have been a real opportunity for Inventables when manufacturing the table for the x carve to have coordinated the grid with Easel so it would have been a simple command to tell Easel to send the router to Home in the bottom left corner and it would perfectly fall there every time. In easel it is all relative as you create the home based on the work area you are using. So if I place a part at 10" y and 10"x from the home in the bottom left corner, I can tell the software to head dead center to that point. I want to use that constant home to send the dead center of the router to an xy coordinate on the table so I can machine parts in a template that holds the parts. I need something that remains a consistent home every time I start the machine. I dont really want to have a new home every time I start a project. I have homing switches but seems like “home” in Easel is rather relative. I am using Easel but need something that gives greater control.
