Thanks Mark! Big shout out to @Chris Laidlaw , @Serge E. , @asb_79 , and @Michael who all provided parts and knowledge. I learned a lot by...
OX build based on the original OX design. Cutting area is about 25" x 40". I used NEMA23s for X, Y, and Z, and xPRO CNC controller with standard...
The dust shoe, along with the router mount came from Chris Laidlaw. Excellent fit and finish. I found the router opening in the dust shoe was a...
Something to mention - for control I am using primarily Chilipeppr. In the enclosure pics, you might notice I mounted a USB connector on the...
John Meikrantz published a new build: Another build based on the venerable OX. xPRO CNC controller, and a few extras. Read more about this build...
I think the clicking is due to stepper current too high. You might need to back off the current on the xPRO board. Mine are set at about 50% or...
I'm at a loss, then. Do you have an Arduino IDE installed, so you can try just some basic serial terminal communication via the serial monitor?...
Silly question, but are you sure it's the correct serial port? Maybe try downloading the latest FTDI drivers -...
What happens if you just send a $$ command? Sometimes mine needs to be prompted with input. I either send a $$ or from the machine control tab...
Ah, if you are using GRBL 0.8 you need to set baud rate to 9600, not 115200. I would highly recommend updating to 0.9, however. It really added...
Looks like there might be some known issues with GRBL Controller. Check the threads here: http://zapmaker.org/projects/grbl-controller-3-0/ I...
What does the text say? It is too small to read in the posted image. -- John
Hmm, nothing special about the setup. The switch should just pull the appropriate pin to GND. Can you try just a single switch, with one side...
Are the switches normally open momentary contact? Can you check the switches with a multimeter and make sure pushing the switch button closes the...
Pbmaster, I had the same issue, and this has been discussed before in the main OX thread. Current and speed/acceleration settings seem to fix...
Is anyone using Vcarve Pro with CNC xPRO? Not sure of exactly how to use/create a post processor. Will the Vectric post processor files supplied...
Okay, I figured some things out! Basically, it doesn't matter what the machine position states - in my case it is set at the max soft limits of...
Homing problems... I have completed the OX, and built a box to house controls, and ran cables through drag chain, etc. Looks great. I also...
Look on Amazon for VGA heat sinks. I got a 20 pack for under $6, with adhesive already applied. Just peel and stick!...
David, the GRBL wiki has some good info on testing for the best settings for speed and acceleration....
