I had a huge problem getting my woodpecker cnc going. I am surprised your not running UGS PLatform! Do you know much about and if so maybe guide us on first time setup and use? 200 inch pitch lead screws, my stepper motors are 200 steps per revolution and my stepper motor controller is set to 8X micro stepping for the x & y axis.
Stepper Motor # of Steps per Revolution = 200 (steps/revolution) All it takes is some quick math and a few pieces of information. Note these were not the default settings on my system. Here, we are interested in the “Steps/mm” settings.
Type “$$” to display the available user defined settings in the console window.įor a complete list check out the GRBL wiki available by clicking here. The first step is to see your current settings. To download a copy of this cheat sheet, click the link below. I found it was easier to refer back to a single sheet while setting up my machine as opposed to going back and searching the GRBL wiki page.
There are quite a few GRBL settings that we can adjust to get our CNC machines to do exactly what we want. Universal Gcode Sender Main Screen Display Current GRBL Settings
