What step are you on? Have you been following https://www.maslowcnc.com/assemblyguide/ ?
I’m not there yet, but you roughly should:
- Build frame.
- Assemble the Arduino/sled and other electronics.
- Upload the firmware to the Arduino.
- Set up a win/mac/linux/rPie computer to run ground control.
- Connect the PC to the Arduino and calibrate.
- Load g-code and cut something, probably the sled.
Up to step 4 use the above link. After that look on the forums, the ground control guide, there are a couple of youtube vids and use the wiki. (at least that’s my plan) I think GroundControl will walk you through the calibration when you select it from the menu.
