Ok, I am stuck with the homing switches. I am going to describe what I have done so far. Everything is installed and the machine is working correctly (except homing switches), so this is not a rush. I do have the laser as well, but none of that is wired up, taking this step by step. First of all I have the switches plugged into the positive positions on the board as the instructions say with the red wire to the left (closest to the steppers). When I hit the $H command the machine will drive up, back and to the left and it will keep driving even though it has past the point of activating the switches and the only way I can stop the machine from continuing to drive past its limits is to kill the whole process. I am including the settings that I used in UGS that were suggested in the instructions. Any tips on my next step I would appreciate. It looks as though I need to change the settings in UGS in order to enable it, and I tried but had no success with that so I went back to the stock settings that were suggested.

One other piece of information and I dont know if this is correct behavior in UGS, but anytime I am working the Machine position stays at 0,0,0 according to the box labeled Machine status.

It sounds like you might be running the version of UGS Classic from the website. Get UGS Platform instead. The version on the resources page is UGS classic intended for version 0.9 of Grbl. Your Carve King has Grbl 1.1 and the status reporting isn't quite the same, hence weird position reporting. winder.github.io/ugs_website/guide/platform/Unzip it and run UGS located in the "bin" folder.

You can also run a nightly build of UGS 2.0 (Classic), but it's not advertised as being stable.

Thank you very much, it did not say anything about that in the instructions that I seen (might have missed it), but I will do that when I get a chance to get back on the machine.

No problem. It points you to UGS Platform on page 31 of the instructions but it does not say not to use the one on the resources page, so I could see how you went there. For what it's worth, I am testing UGS classic 2.0 that is compatible with 1.1 and will replace the file on the resources page once I'm satisfied it works like it needs to.

Ok, I might try that to be ahead of the curve...

All is well with UGS-P 2.0 minus probing but I'm in contact with Will about that.

Thanks. So this and aspire is all I will need. It's just there's a lot off stuff on resources page that can be downloaded. Just a little bit confused lol

That's right. Aspire is high end, so don't run out and buy it unless you really want it. But basically, you need a cad/CAM program (aspire, fusion 360, or other) and the g code sender.

We will get ya up. Does is try to grind past a particular axis?
For instance, it first will move up to contact Z. Is that working right? It will hit the Z switch, back off some, move back into the switch, click it, and move back off a little. The X and Y will then simultaneously move towards their switches. Is one or both of those posing a problem?
Can you describe how you have them connected?
