I sent the following to “Support”. Waiting to hear back…
Macbook Air
Apple M2 Chip
MacOS Sequoia v 15.3.1
16 GB Memory
Xcarve 1000x1000, Arduino with sheild
VER:1.1g.20170629-Inventables:
Latest driver 0.4.4
Tried with latest versions of both Firefox and Chrome.
(Problem exist with this and another Mac that I’ve been using).
Problem exist with a program that was running fine a couple of weeks ago and also with creating a new program.
Problem started after being forced to install the latest driver.
I’ve deleted and set up a new machine profile several times.
I found an inventables suggestion to change the DNS settings.

Changed them to the supplied addresses. Browsers still work fine, but did not change the problems in Easel.
Computer is connecting to controller fine. Homing works fine. Going to Work Zero works fine. Simulate displays tool path correctly.
When I select Carve and confirm material, tool, etc. Confirm Spindle is on. Click the final Carve! button. The screen displays the feedrate and the progress bar, but there is NO machine movement, NO progress happening. If I go to Machine Inspector at this point, it shows “Alarm 2” and [MSG:Reset to continue]. If I click the “X” (stop) it brings up the Carve complete screen. That -briefly- shows - “Homing is disabled”-. Trying to carve again the first window says Home Machine or Unlock Without Homing. From that point in Machine Inspector I can $X and $H, or use the Home or Work Zero in the Jog Machine area. Which brings me back to the same scenario. I’ve been trying to get this going for three days now. Tried rebooting computers, rebooting the controller, unplugging/plugging in the USB cable. And every combination of those things that I could come up with.
You bricked my setup a short time ago. I had a Windows machine dedicated to the Xcarve. You depreciated that and I had a very expensive boat anchor for a while. As of right now I’m in the same boat again (pun intended).
Now what?
