    Hi can anyone tell me how to set the x32 up for a 2axis xyy with z axis homing disabled the firmware loader in openbuilds control does not list a firmware for that configuration under the x32 menue but they do for the x4 I dont know if i can use that with the x32 or not I have my machine set up with the default firmware that it came with steps set everything is working except it fails on homing with an error message that says it cant find the switch within the 1.5 distance im assuming thats the z axis its trying to home first that i dont have

    grblHAL configures homing through Grbl Settings (no firmware build needed):
    Our ACRO profiles for example has it - but if its a custom machine, set $44=3 and $45=0 in the Grbl Settings

    Working :)
    But after homing and i need to do a frame check, i get this alarm each time and have to reset to continue.

    ALARM:2

    G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained. Alarm may be unlocked. (Right-click the 'Devices' button to reset the connection)

    On or near line 3:

    Stream completed in 0:00

    [MSG:Reset to continue]

    GrblHAL 1.1f ['$' or '$HELP' for help]

    [MSG:'$H'|'$X' to unlock]

    [MSG:Caution: Unlocked]

    ok

    which means your gcode part size is bigger than the machine thinks of itself.
    have you set the sizes correctly?
    $130 X-axis maximum travel, millimeters
    $131 Y-axis maximum travel, millimeters
    $132 Z-axis maximum travel, millimeters

    Disable Soft Limits. Its not worth the trouble. Takes a deeper understanding, impeding initial learning curve

    Make sure you set zero correctly and make sure you calibrated the machine
    Also make sure you CAM'ed the origin in the same place you set the physical origin (Zero)

    Done, but same problem. He just travel all alone over the table..... I stop him after 90% traveling, dont want to test if he travels the whole way and outside the limits.

    well, how big is the drawing? how big is the machine?
    the machine has to be bigger than the drawing otherwise it will never work!

    but as Peter mentioned, have you calibrated the machine so when told to move 200mm it actualy does move 200mm?

    Please post your grbl settings and your g-code file so one of us can have a look at what might be wrong.

    It is the file you are trying to cut that you are having issues with.

    Where you saved it when you created it in your cam software. How are you creating files to run on your CNC? What software are you using to design things.
    Please tell us, step by step, how you create a file.
