4. Modify the parameters：


Controller default parameters are not necessarily suitable for your machine,
need to modify the parameters, such as: step/mm, acceleration.
In the [command input box] where to enter $$, and click [send command],
you can get on-board GRBL firmware parameter settings. As shown below:

Change Example: Change the X axis 1mm pulse number to 640 and the
acceleration to 15. As shown below:

How to calculate the number of pulses required for 1mm:

Example 1: The machine uses a screw drive, screw pitch 5mm, stepper
motor step angle of 1.8 °, drive microstep = 16, machine running 1mm need
steps number as follows:

200x16/5=640(step/mm)
Example 2: The machine uses a belt drive, the pulley turns every turn, the
belt runs 32mm, the stepper motor step angle is 1.8 °, the drive microstep =
16, machine running 1mm need steps number as follows:

5. Run G code for processing:
1> click【open】, Select the G code to run.
2> Click on the manual operation panel, move the spindle to the starting.
point of the engraving, so that the tool and the workpiece just touch.
3> click【ZeroXY】【Zero Z】Clear the XYZ axis coordinate.
4> click【Send】runing G code.
