My two favorites right now are bCNC and cnc.js. I have a similar setup with Raspberry Pi in the workshop connected to control CNC. GitHub -...
Check the explanation on the grbl FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions · grbl/grbl Wiki · GitHub I had the same questions when I first started using...
The probe gets wired to A5, which is in the black connector on the xPro board.
I used a 400W PSU.
Planet CNC mk2/4 does not run grbl, so you can't use grbl-panel. You will need to use the Planet CNC USB controller.
Yes, works fine.
I have three switches, one per axis. I find it very useful to be able to home the machine and have a predictable zero. Soft limits are set to...
I primarily use cnc.js, so I connect via web browser from my MacBook. Second option is bCNC, and if I'm running that I use vnc to remotely run...
Sneak pic. Sitting in the old xPro enclosure. Combines RPi, Arduino, and Driver shield with wifi/ethernet in a very compact package. [ATTACH]
It's an enhanced version of the Raspberry Pi CNC board. Added support for a 4th driver, filters on the limit switch inputs, support for external...
Check out bCNC - has manual tool change function, and auto probe. vlachoudis/bCNC · GitHub
Two differences - the xPro has built in Arduino, so you don't need an additional board to plug the shield into. Also, the xPro has four drivers -...
You should also take a look at bCNC and cnc.js. They both have built in probing support and are pretty feature rich. I run both on Raspberry Pi 2...
Do a G91 (relative distance mode) and then G0 z0.25. That will retract an additional .25". Finish off with a G90 to put back in absolute mode.
I'm also an xpro/grbl user, and pretty happy with things. I gave up on Chilipeppr too. Currently using cnc.js, which is kind of like Chilipeppr,...
So with the standard xPro config, it is set for 1/8 microstepping. For an Ox build with the standard pulley/gt3 belt, the settings for $101 and...
tinyg is not grbl compatible.
I have an xPro, which is okay. You'll find more support here on the forums than from the manufacturer. TinyG uses "tinyg" instead of grbl, so...
I started out with a "traditional" Ox Z axis, and was never completely satisfied with how rigid it was. Recently replaced the original Z axis...
