Software or machine

I have just bought a Fox alien Masuter3s and ask if any other makers have used or are using Easel with this machine . I am currently using the trial version before upgrading but I cannot get the machine e to home either through the software or from the controller directly.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Did you go through the Easel Setup questions where it asks for the machine specs and specifically home switches to test? If not you may want to do that. Also there is a Grbl setting that enables homing to take place.

Hi Ian. I also have the same unit my wife and daughter thought is would be a nice hobby for me to get intol . I have not do anything with it yet except changed the spindle with a makita router and purchased a few bits . I purchased the Vetric Software to use as i founf it easier for me to understand . it was not cheap but once i get into this hobby it will be worth the extra money. since we have the same unit let us keep in touch and help each other out.

I suggest that you look at the consul window and see if the switches can be manually activated. This window allows you to try to see if the micro switches are being activated.
