•Windows XP: Right click on My Computer, select Manage, then Device Manager.
•Windows 7: Click on Start on the taskbar, right click on Computer, select Manage, then Device Manager.
•Windows 10: In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, then select it from the menu.
Step 2
Determine your machine’s COM port
In the tree, expand Ports (COM & LPT).
Your machine will be identified by the
USB Serial Port (COMX), where the “X”
represents the COM number, for
example COM3.
If there are multiple USB serial ports,
right click on each one and check the
manufacturer, the machine’s should be
"CH340".

Step 3
Log into Easel
We recommend that our customers use a
web application called Easel, which is
developed by Inventables for their X-carve
machines.
It works great with the 3018 CNC machines
too. It is free (the pro version is not really
needed), powerful and easy to use to design
and carve your projects.
Go to Easel.inventables.com and click on the
blue Sign in through Inventables button.
