I have a new LEAD 1010, I have double checked the wires on both ends of the motor, when I jog to the Z neg, the motor goes up, the z positive the motor goes down, In the homing Oper., the z axis ( without the router mounted) hits the spoil board,,I am lost. please help,, So I went and looked a the Grbl setting for the Lead 1010, I found the Z axis was inverted I changed it, and homed the the machine once successfully ,, re jogged and it went back to the inverted spot?
Grbl settings > Scroll down to Direction Invert, and flip the switch for Z. Do yourself a favour and have a read through the Grbl wiki gnea/grbl in particular explains all the settings and is a great help in understanding Grbl
Hi Peter I found it was inverted as i stated in my message I changed it i was able to home the machine once then the z axis inverted on its own. I tried to correct it but no luck.. I am and have been reading thought the grbl stuff. Thanks
Make it jog right first. Then you can setup homing directions (refer to wiki) For very beginners, leave homing for now, it just adds complication. Get to know the basics before bothering with homing, coordinate systems, etc
The x and y axis function as described in the set up video. Are you telling me to jog the X axis to the right ?.
So after quite a bit more reading the machine functions as designed with the Z inverted I am not sure that is right but it homed And preformed an air cut of the Hello world . i will load a bit in it and cut some scrap..
Nope, make it jog right as in Correct as in how it should be. All axes in their correct directions (flip direction switches on any that does not). Making it follow cartesian standards first, then if it homes in the wrong direction, address that using the Homing Direction Invert setting.
