sheetcam

hello, i want to use sheetcam as CAM program to convert my dxf file into gcodes for my workbee router, i have to select a post processor but in that list is nothing i can use or that looks familiar...you can import a processor but were to search for it ? is it a driver or so ? i use the X-pro cnc controller.

thanks

 

thanks !! any ideas were to download a grbl post processor ? i have the cnc x-pro controller on the cnc machine, and use the UGS (universal gcode sender) for transferring gcodes to the machine ,
kind regards, johan

 

thanks for the help, i downloaded the file, imported into sheetcam, selected and generated the gcode, than in ugs i browsed to the "tap" file and no errors....but when sending to the machine nothing is happening, even 0 seconds to send, however there are 19 lines....what am i missing ??

 

i dont know what to do anymore, it supposed to be so easy installing and operating but until now i am busy for days searching, trying ,installing trying again, programs that match the machine but i am still not able to get it running, not even a single line,all that works after all these days is homing the machine to the right far corner.....

 

are you using also a workbee router ? or cnc x-pro controller ? do you in estlcam also need to configure or install some post processor or is it ready to use /ready to generate gcodes ?

 

i will try estlcam...i also contacted Ryan Lock about the grbl plasma.scpost , maybe there are also other grbl post processors that i can use, but i will try for now estlcam, see if that works without changing i dont know what, with a simple file you mean like a drawing ?
thanks for the help so far!!!

 

hello,
i am sure that the problem is with the post processor, its not the correct one for my machine, homing, jog and all that is working fine and in the right directions,
when i am home i will post a simple quick drawing wich i created to see if it was working and my grbl settings
