Hello all, I'm very new to CNC I have a small 3018 CNC Router. I finally learned to convert images to gcode. I feel this may be a stupid question but, I'm using GRBL/Candle can anyone tell me how long it should take once you send the code to the router to begin cutting. It seems to process the code till it gets to line 30 then stays there for an extended time. it has been in queue on that line now for 14 hrs. Thanks in advance for any help. Line 30 reads - (dmap2gcode_set scanpat "Rows").
Everything in the image is comments. Post your gcode and more about your setup. Without knowing more, it seems to me that your computer lost communication with your machine.
