You can use a BlackBox which connects to the PC via USB. Connect a motor only to the X driver. Generate suitable Gcode to drive only the X as you...
Somewhere a ground wire has come loose, not visibly 'off the terminal', but loose nevertheless. I would disconnect and reconnect every wire on the...
Very hard to help you when you do not supply the pictures of the machine Rick asked for, so it was much easier for your son who could see what was...
What you want is a C axis (a rotary axis parallel to the Z axis). For this you will need a more advanced controller than the BlackBox, and some...
I agree with Rick, look at the current builds like the LEAD and Workbee and modify yours to be more like them, at some point you will be able to...
that error Smells like USB corruption to me. Use a high quality SHORT USB cable and keep it away from power cables (AC and motor power). The X...
Also look at Sketchup Make 2017 (the last free version) and the SketchUcam plugin [MEDIA]
Thankyou set this $11 Junction deviation, millimeters 0.010mm to 0.02mm, which is the default, changing these settings ($11 and $12) from the the...
That is because the setting is saved inside the controller (inside the Arduino), not in the GUI software, so each GUI just reads it from the...
please post the Gcode file and a screen image of the drawing, ie what it is supposed to cut
Taig/Sherline will fit in a drawer (-:
If the controller setting is not 255, which GUI you use will never make any difference since it is inside the controller. If the problem is in...
1/8" shank bits are available for tools like Dremel and for drilling PCB's like this: 1/16" drill pcb - Google Search Also, anyone with a lathe...
Hi open OBControl connect to the controller click the 'grbl settings' tab set '$1 Step idle delay, millisecond' to 255 click the save button at...
ah, you have an XYZ probe, so you cannot switch the wires. So, as Peter said, you now have a DC ground to power ground connection via that new...
Yes, it (the OB postprocessor for GRBL) always does this.... M3 S12000 where 12000 is the rpm you set in Fusion for this tool. If you have set...
also, ordinary Gcode macros can be written to probe and set Z zero or set the tool offset. In this regard you may be happier with bCNC as your...
The Openbuilds Fusion360 post creates an .nc file per tool. so 2 files means you have 2 tools selected. This is commented inside the .nc files,...
you can do a plugin for bCNC in python to do this for you
or use a scrap of the material that is the same thickness to set Z after the first cut. or zero Z to the table, give G1 Z(thickness of material)...
