Problem is that most people want to start creating master pieces straight away rather than take the time to build their understanding more slowly, I know I didĪdrian already linked to a couple of very good introductory videos
#Cnc usb controller set up how to
Just working your way through the tutorials will answer many of your questions & give you a very good understanding of the software & how to use it as you move forward. Using a 2 monitor set up can help with this if you have one as you can watch the video on one monitor & follow along on the other Vectric also provide downloadable files for almost all tutorials so you can actually follow along with each tutorial as you go. You really need to start with the tutorial videos at the very beginning & work your way through them rather than jump in half way through. They don't show up in a preview if I just drag and drop.Īdrian actually posted while I was trying to think of the best way to answer your questions without it coming across the wrong way It would be so much easier if people like the guy who narrated the moulding video assumed everyone was green at the start and said at the end to save the toolpath! BTW. I suspect the answer was so simple for anyone experienced with CNC software that it never occurred to anyone that was the problem. It wasn't until I'd waded through 225 pages of the help file that it all gelled. I've blindly gone ahead interpreting the list of compatible programs that USB CNC opens as opening the file I saved as a.

As it is, on page 225 of the 257 page (yes, I spent the day reading it!) help document I found some information that coupled with having opened another rival (to Vcarve) program and being able to open its saved file with CNC USB then do a trial run of the router without drama that It's all in the file extensions.īecause the post processor was written by someone who does not use English as their native language, they did not define the file extension or mention that the file has to be toolpaths, not the saved Vcarve file. I'm positive if one of you were standing beside me, I'd have picked this up in 10 or 20 seconds. How to create a file suitable for a G-code interpretor.
Even the video files Vectric provide lack that final bit of information all new users have to have. I rely on written or (shudder) video files for instructions. I've never attempted to claim I know what I'm doing here. I just now saved the toolpath and opened that file with no issues. Well it does but not Vcarve files saved as crv files if you know what I mean.

Without license controller stops after making 25 moves but everything else is fully functional.The CNC USB controller software my machine uses says quite UNclearly that it reads Vcarve files. You can now test controller if everything works. If LED is blinking then disconnect Jog8 connection and start CNC USB software. If it is not blinking then something is wrong with your board. When you connect USB, LED will start blinking quickly. You need to connect Jog8 pin to Vcc otherwise nothing will happen. Connect Jog8 (RB4) to Vcc and Connect to USB. On DIY PCB you need to connect 5V USB pin to +5V if you want to use USB power.ģ. Bootloader can be downloaded on DIY page.īecause I will use power from USB I need to connect 5VUSB jumper. You must use programmer to program bootloader into PIC. Your DIY board must have all required pull-up and pull-down resistors otherwise it will not work! How to program CNC USB Controller firmware
