The Shapeoko Forum

I spaced my T-Track at 3" spacing. Seems to work pretty well.

You can do plenty with an S2. I did lots of good work with my S1/S2 hybrid. The software should mostly work with your S2. You might have issues flashing the latest GRBL to your board, but I'm not an expert on that. The CAD/CAM stuff doesn't care what machine you are using, the standard Shapeoko post...

In the next few days the forum will be upgraded to the latest version and moved to a new server.

This will cause everybody to get logged out and the forum will look a little different.

There will also be a short outage at the time of the upgrade.

G28 is "go to pre-defined position" If you don't have that position set, then it could cause issues. The predefined position is set by sending G28.1 followed by the X Y Z coordinates. I never use G28. G91 sets incremental mode G28 G91 Z0 doesn't really make any sense to me, since it's telling it to ...

https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Grbl-v1.1-Configuration $23 determines which direction the axes move during homing. Z should move first, then X and Y together. If your machine is sitting on a limit switch when you start the homing sequence you will have problems. Make sure you are away from the sw...
