Hello, Can anyone tell me if estl controller software will work with the black box? All the inputs and whatnot?
Hi Charlie, Yes treat it as an XPro and no problem. I ran mine stock GRBL for a while then recently switched to Estlcam firmware/control, mostly as an experiment. Cheers Gary
To use Estlcam control you have to "Program Controller", when you do this use the Xpro presets. Cheers Gary
Ok one more question. I see that it supports 4 axis,but only 3 limit switches. Is there a "y2" limit switch?
You should only need one for Homing. If using as limit switches, for Normally Open you use two in parallel on each end of the axis. If NC, then you can use two in series on each end of the axis. Generally on the Y we have two motors, but they both move the machine the same distance so only one input is needed.
gyday guys I was advised to use Elstcam on my marlin prog. it made every thing at half size, dont know why, got used to this? an adjusted. until it fried my Ramps board. magic smoke?? bought the Black box and haven't looked back since. as a Cam utility to make g code , works great. lloyd
Made everything half size? was this SVG import? need to play with DPI setting to get the scale right. Otherwise if using the Estlcam control could be controller settings (distance per rev and steps per rev) may be set incorrectly. Cheers Gary
I had a similar problem when I first started using it. I selected the wrong microstepping and was making everything twice as big as it was supposed to be.
thanks Pete you guy have woundefull product. but, did u read my comment "Stnd alone" worth thinking about, mate lloyd
