Hi, I'm just about to buy a Workbee 1500x1500 and doing a bit of snagging before I hit the buy button. I intend to use the Estlcam software for the CAM end, the only thing I'm not sure about is the Eastlcam controller settings for the Duet in which comes with the Workbee. I flagged this up with Oozenest who mentioned all the code must have 'G1' against each input, see below. Has anyone got any experience of this? Many thanks to those who reply. Cheers Phil ' The WorkBee (Duet) requires every G-Code line to explicitly state the G Command. For example, the below code will not work: G1 X500 F500 (Move to X500) X1000 (Move to X1000) X1500 (Move to X1500) The commands should be as: G1 X500 F500 (Move to X500) G1 X1000 (Move to X1000) G1 X1500 (Move to X1500)
Are you required to buy the Duet? I use a plain old Arduino based grbl controller (like the BlackBox) and Estlcam works great with it and I did not have to do anything to the controller but set it up in the Eslcam software. Aside from that, here is a hunk of code I took a screenshot of that Estlcam generated. It hadd "G" commands at the start of all lines, but not G1. Hope this helps.
Interesting, thanks all for posting. Oozenest seemed to have put all their chips on the Duet system possibly with an eye on Fusion? Re 'flashing', that's a whole other rabbit warren which I don't want to head down. My crash course in CNC, CAM and CAD learning is taking its toll, not sure if I can cope with hardware programming as well. I've emailed Christian but not heard back yet. Hopefully he'll will before it arrives in November!..Lockdown has obviously been good for certain companies!
