Hi,

Been using my Atomshack a5 m50 pro on my MacBook Pro for a couple of weeks now everything going smooth but tonight when I hit the frame button before I start it takes me to the home corner and makes a horrible grinding noise, which I stop before it does it now. But why is it doing this does anyone have any idea? I wasn’t messing with the settings, I’ve changed nothing since the purchase. I uninstalled/reinstalled the software, unplugged the usb, reset my laptop but still no use.

Hoping someone can help!

      Assuming the GRBL settings are correct then this should never occur as long as you conform to the following:

1. The laser is homed at the start of each session
2. After homing you never move the laser by hand; use jogging controls exclusively
3. Have “Enable out of bounds warning” enabled in Edit->Device Settings and don’t ignore warning

Furthermore, I suggest you use Absolute Coords as your Start from mode until you are extremely comfortable with the function of your laser.

Can you confirm that you’re following the above? If not, retry with these conditions and report back please.
