  - Make connection
    - Open Repetrel on the computer (Repetrel is not running on the tablet anymore).
    - Test the connection by clicking on the ''Light'' button on top of the Repetrel UI:\\ {{:hyrel:light_banner_web.jpg?400|}}
  - **Home**
    - **You NEED to home the machine before starting any other motion**
    - <wrap hi>Home the X and Y axes (!)</wrap>
    - <wrap hi>Home the Z axis (!)</wrap>
      - Put a piece of paper under the nozzle.
      - Click ''Enable Z-calibrate''. When the button is red and the arrow on it's right is lit up yellow, It is now possible to //carefully// raise the bed to the nozzle.
        - The arrows show the motion from the perspective of the table: 
          - UP = closer to the nozzle
          - DOWN = further away from the nozzle
      - Raise the bed until the paper is lightly pinched between the nozzle and the bed.
      - Un-click ''Enable Z-calibration'' to set the current position as Z-ZERO.
