With the power off, simply drag the gantry to the front of the machine so you have enough room to change the tool. To begin the job, click the play button in the middle of the screen. I went through the steps on this link http://diymachining.com/diy-cnc-controller-how-to-setup-your-arduino-gshield/ before trying to get it to work that way. But, you dont need to write those coordinates down. Device manager shows ATmega16u2 as an unknown device. Please do as @UncommonDad noted and check your Windows install that it is properly accessing the Arduino on the Carbide Motion board properly. It seems to come on when I power the machine. To do this correctly, were going to export these 2 operations as separate G-Code files. Be certain to power down completely as a part of testing. Provide that information here, and to support@carbide3d.com if things dont work were glad to work w/ you to crowdsource a solution for you, but you have to work w/ us to provide enough information for us to provide meaningful suggestions, and you need to be willing to try them and report back on what does or doesnt happen. On a Nomad 883 Classic without an interlock we need to cut a pin on the Carbide Motion board, otherwise the firmware will throw a Door Open error. Remove the plastic gasket between the aluminum back plate and the electronics cover. The program will find your connected machine, and present you with the screen: Once the updating begins, you will be presented with the following screen: After the updating process is complete (will generally take less than 30 seconds), the software will alert you that it is safe to release the z-axis limit switch. Congratulations! 1 Like Hit the "Connect" button, load the G-code file. Thanks in advance. You can now remove the back cover/top/window assembly. We recommend resting the cover on a box or something similar to prevent tears in the bottom crease of the electronics cover. Everything you need to know about using our products. #define bit(b) (1UL << (b)), Sketch uses 29594 bytes (91%) of program storage space. ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. Everything required is built into the program. US, 310-504-3637 Maximum is 32256 bytes. For both systems, uninstalling and reinstalling the application may address problems, or if possible, try a different machine. Open Carbide Motion Click 'Connect to Cutter' After you have successfully connected to the machine, you will see the 'Job Info' screen. I looked in the device manager and I can see it on COM 5 listed as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM5). The extents of the job are shown. Before we can begin operation 2, we need to get back to the same exact position we defined for operation 1 (the same job zero location). Carbide Motion makes this easy for you. The material is held down at 4 points around its perimeter. 3630 Skypark Dr. When you select pocket in Carbide Create it removed all the material inside the vector. When the firmware is updated, all of the settings are reset (speed, steps/mm, acceleration, etc.). Carbide Motion installed successfully and it said it installed the driver. Indeed, there are comm activity LEDs on my CM controllers have you verified the Device Manager recognition of your controller? Carbide Motion remembers your last offsets and gives you easy access to return to those positions, reliably and repeatably. ), -Turn on power switch from shapeoko power supply (solid blue light from controller immediately, motors lock, hum from machine). #define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)? Torrance, CA If you pocket out a 1 inch hole you'll be left with a 1 inch hole and no plug (as you've turned the plug to sawdust). I see this question was asked on May 17th, but it was concerning build 517 and this current build is 537. Press J to jump to the feed. This was because the material is 6 wide and I set 6 between the clamps. I take it running the CM installer as Admin failed to bolt in the driver? Now Im on to learning how to convert a jpg (for example) into a svg. But by and large, it means setting your z-axis zero point. Computer side: Carbide motion error "cutter not found" . The first op is using the 1/8 endmill to machine 4 slightly larger than 1/8 holes (Carbide Create does not drill, so a hole must be at least 10% larger in diameter than the endmill used to machine it), and to create a 3/16 wide slot down the right side. x%,sgO OO?N!px8(00G#@} |&pp'p v_n| "p=:` Think of Carbide Motion as the dashboard for your CNC machine. ^U-k-G"L]c#fZ~/bpprta\~o8./Hb*e6?Y_19m|?ya|\/Yra#lD5L"QOA Z_[ N$$rG5,0a%(E&6{KY6K,6KoWg+?$|l@b#t5-ECIDmtX4w'YEFrnf%(JgVy&z3A 5T:Y,6$0&"k#6q.V/8N qn 8J]Z ')8_wz`n:=+5iz+h; k%h`:@ jVexlOcgm}u Home This is a fixed location on your machine where the carriages park after sending the home command. The 1/4 endmill is using the 1/4 collet that is included with the Dewalt Router, the 1/8 endmill is using the 1/8 precision collet from the Carbide 3D shop. After the tool has moved up, Carbide Motion will prompt to insert the correct tool. Its important to note here that we just moved the machine back to the exact X and Y coordinates where our first operation was started. 1. the link mentioned in there to get the XLOADER doesnt work (was going to just reflash my arduino to make sure I had what that was asking for) and 2. The job consists of 2 operations (or ops, as they say in the biz). x]n@E|,EDBHQH^0R |;LatK11#YNvYy?%un:/zm2'w`Oyi\ugf~1>{6'GGTl[j. Youll notice that all 3 of the axis values change to -5.00 (mm). #define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)? Im just following up after the fact. Check the USB cable and USB port try a different USB port (or machine) if possible. They are sending me a new controller. This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet. Just press the Current Offset (X & Y) button to return the machine to the last offset you created! For this job were going to use two different end mills: Note: the two endmills have different shank sizes as well as cutting diameters. Thats not too important, dont get hung up on it. The material setup in Carbide Create was set to 6 6. With Carbide Motion, we took the liberty of managing the work coordinate system for you. and frustrating. USB registers that device was connected. On Macs, resetting the PRAM (command option p r when rebooting) and resetting the System Management Chip (check Apples support page for your system) has helped on some systems --- presumably where there was a problem with the USB system. This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply. Think of Carbide Motion as the dashboard for your CNC machine. This driver gets bolted in with CM installation (I believe). This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply. If so, use the Arduino IDE to connect. We will export the 1/8 cutter G-Code first. The Z-axis needs to be reset because Carbide Motion doesnt know how long the tool you inserted for operation 2 is, compared to the tool you used for operation 1. Unplug the motor, limit switche, fan and power connectors. You think, I just homed the machine, cant I run the job from here? Consider yourself warned. I guess I havent been as clear as I should. This is basically the landing screen of the program once you are connected. Youre going to see this term everywhere. Global variables use 1484 bytes (72%) of dynamic memory, leaving 564 bytes for local variables. You should see the Shapeoko 3 in the Ports (COM & LPT) section: I also get a steady blue light on mine. I ended up emailing Support. avr_read(): error reading address 0x0000 ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. Hit open and I get nothing. In order to connect to the machine and get it to move, several things need to happen: It is suggested that one connects to the machine in the sequence suggested on the Operating Checklist: If that doesnt work properly, then it should be a straight-forward matter to determine the difficulty: Please contact us and well get your machine moving. Im on Mac and it did drive me crazy, completely randomly, the reboot works every time. Once done you'll be presented with the screen asking you to release the Z limit switch. Instead of manually entering all 43 settings, we have built the settings into Carbide Motion and created a way for you to instantly save those settings to your controller! The stock piece is roughly 6 wide and 18 long. In fact, the design is set away from the origin in both the X and Y axis. However, the Z-axis needs to reset. undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Export the G-Code again. With the 1/4 toolpaths disabled, click the green save GCode button at the bottom of the screen. Its time to load the G-Code file. @[v )"w$vAmYt~29Y&AmHf zZ'h5 Z-h(7(B+\~A-'h PA'[PW2{t!.-F5j,hH#5rf%r T+FPJPBP2QYQXP Since Carbide Create seems to have the shallower learning curve, I figure I'll go from there. Clicking the green View GCode button will display the raw gcode in txt form. Typically, you would think about how large your job is, then setup your material and clamps accordingly, just as I did in this job. If youre looking for a ballpark idea that you have loaded the correct file, the extents are a good place to look. Okay, so the two primary alternatives seem to be Fusion 360 and Carbide Create. That was on the steps that I posted originally that I was trying to follow. 140 0 obj <> endobj 165 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[]/Index[140 42]/Info 139 0 R/Length 116/Prev 856843/Root 141 0 R/Size 182/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream Id recommend manually installing the driver if I knew where there was a repo or URL to grab it from. Because we just ran a homing cycle, we know the machine is in its home position. So where ever your machine thinks 0,0,0 is, that is where the job will begin from. http://shapeoko.github.io/Docs/software.html. USB registers that device was connected. 3630 Skypark Dr. Get Carbide Create Here MeshCAM If you need to download MeshCAM, click here Carbide Motion V3 I think my board is bad but I cant remember if the blue light is the only light on the board.
