Greetings from Denver. I am new to OpenBuilds control. I have a Shapeoko Pro and I am interested in using open builds control. I am used to carbide motion starting and stopping the spindle automatically. How can I program Control to so the same thing? I only see an option to manually start it. When I do that it starts up but then the spindle stops within seconds of the machine moving. Also are there other settings that I should be using on the custom machine setup in Control? Thanks in advance for your help!
I think I figured part of it out. I had it in laser mode. The next problem is how can I set a delay for the spindle to startup before it starts to cut?
Same, the Gcode should contain the G4 (Dwell) commands to wait Typically something like M3 S1000 ; Turn spindle on G4 P8 ; 8 second wait for spindle G1.... ; moves continue after wait
Thanks for the quick reply. I use Vcarve pro for toolpaths. I looked at the shapeoko post processor and don’t see a G4 command. Can I just add it? Anyone done this before? Am I looking in the right place?
