  • Install the usb to serial driver from USB: 3018ProCNC SoftwareGRBL SoftwaredriverCH340SER.EXE
  • Download and flash the latest GRBL .hex firmware from: https://github.com/gnea/grbl/releases
    • use XLoader provided from USB: 3018ProLaser SoftwareBrush FirmwareGRBL 1.1XLoaderXLoader.exe
    • for settings choose Device: Uno (ATmega328), Baud rate: 115200
    • select the .hex file you downloaded from the grbl link above on Github
  • Calibrate the X/Y/Z axis stepper motors so they move the correct amount.
    From the grblControl software you can set them by sending these 3 commands (in order, X, Y, Z):
    This will set the correct steps/mm amount for the motors I was working with, you may need to adjust these numbers yourself. You can do so by measuring the distance the motor moves in millimeters and adjust the value until it is correct. For example, draw a line exactly 100mm long on your cutting surface and set the X-Axis value to 600 by issuing the command `$100=600`, then issue `X100` to move 100mm along the X axis. If it doesn't move exactly 100mm, adjust the 600 value up or down until it does.
    - see GRBL docs: https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Grbl-v1.1-Configuration#100-101-and-102--xyz-stepsmm
  • The Y axis and Z axis are inverted and must be configured.
    From the grblControl software invert them by sending this command:
    This bitmask will invert the Y axis (2) and Z axis (4)
