(1/4 Square Endmill on left, 1/8 square endmill on right). ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. )RpJ.M (a):(b)), In file included from C:\Users\traci\Documents\Arduino\libraries\grbl/grbl.h:43:0, device drivers??? Stream begins at 1:21.In this episode, we'll go over some of the basic steps you can take to diagnose a CNC problem before contacting support.TLDW:- Check yo. #define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)? So where ever your machine thinks 0,0,0 is, that is where the job will begin from. To reset the Z-axis, just touch off again! These show you the total amount of travel in all axis. In fact, the design is set away from the origin in both the X and Y axis. Hit open and I get nothing. After the tool has moved up, Carbide Motion will prompt to insert the correct tool. The machine gets power in two different ways: Theres a power switch for the latter make certain that its switched to on. This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet.) Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, http://diymachining.com/diy-cnc-controller-how-to-setup-your-arduino-gshield/. With the Carbide Motion board free, look at the Analog In row. On a Nomad 883 Classic without an interlock we need to cut a pin on the Carbide Motion board, otherwise the firmware will throw a Door Open error. This is important. I click settings, then options, I mark BitSetter enabled, I select Shapeoko Pro as the machine type, and click send configuration data, it takes a second as it sends the data. We named the second file stand_op2_250, again using the 250 to indicate we should use a 1/4 (0.250) cutter. x%,sgO OO?N!px8(00G#@} |&pp'p v_n| "p=:` Because we just ran a homing cycle, we know the machine is in its home position. If you need to download MeshCAM, click here, This download is only for early Shapeoko 3 machines, not Shapeoko 4, PRO, or HDM, Carbide Motion V3 for OS X 10.8 or later Build 366, Carbide Motion V3 for Windows 7, 8, 10 Build 368. #define max(a,b) (((a) > (b)) ? You can now remove the back cover/top/window assembly. Carbide Motion is only available for the Nomad and Shapeoko CNC machines. Follow along. The pocket operation will run first, followed by the profile operation. Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item was packaged . Very bad things will happen if you cut the wrong pin. Immediately after pressing the start button (small triangle in middle of screen), your router will move up to the safe height defined from Carbide Create (the default is 12mm). (a) : (b)), In file included from sketch\grblUpload.ino.cpp:1:0: This is where people usually get confused with homing. Works flawlessly every single time on my PC. hbbd```b``Q 1DyH&0d With the power off, simply drag the gantry to the front of the machine so you have enough room to change the tool. With the job loaded, its time to run this operation! What we need to do now, is move the machine to where the job is going to start. Not a big deal, my proximity sensors were out of alignmentaaaand I was thinking it was way more complex than it actually was. Mr William Adams and Mr Brandon Lee were a huge help and helped me through my problems. But my board has a blue light and nothing else. This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply. But, think of them in relation to the home position. Thought maybe the hive mind could help. -Turn on power switch from shapeoko power supply (solid blue light from controller immediately, motors lock, hum from machine) This is basically the landing screen of the program once you are connected. CAD: Carbide 3D makes a rudimentary design software called Carbide Create which can be used to create basic designs; however, Solidworks offers a much more robust features set do create complex and easily modifiable 3D models. From the jog menu you can move to your job zero, and prepare your machine to run a job. Point is, there are a variety of reasons you might want to change tools. You should see the Shapeoko 3 in the Ports (COM & LPT) section: I also get a steady blue light on mine. We will export the 1/8 cutter G-Code first. insert the selected collet and endmill, fasten them tightly, and put the Makita switch to on (router power switch still OFF) on the laptop connected to the machine, launch Carbide Motion. The material is held down at 4 points around its perimeter. Click the 'Toggle Shapeoko Homing' button. Also, support needs to know about instances where machines dont work, whether thats due to unclear instructions, difficulties w/ the software or the machines or the firmware, or local environmental issues so that they can improve their documentation, and work to prevent these sorts of issues from recurring for others. Please go through the machine operating checklist: http://docs.carbide3d.com/article/41-machine-operating-checklist. When this operation finished, the machine will raise to the safe height (12mm by default in Carbide Create), and then move itself to the back center position of your machine. Unfortunately, there were some changes to the GRBL protocol that make 1.1 function poorly with our existing Carbide Motion so we had a decision to make, add a bunch of hacks to Carbide Motion to support both versions or mandate GRBL 1.1 once we release a compatible Carbide Motion. ), (If this is an option) The communications / control software must be set to use the correct communications port (you may want to check the list of available ports and note which ones are present before installation) and be set to the correct speed (115200 baud for current versions of Grbl) if your system allows for such settings, Power up the computer (it should boot up), Connect the USB cable (the computer should indicate that a device has been attached), Turn on power for the machine (the power supply should light up, motors should lock, and if installed, the fan should come on). C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:92:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition The instructions below apply to the following versions of the Carbide Motion boards shipped with Shapeoko: - 2.1 - 2.2 - 2.3 - 2.4d - 2.4e To identify which version of the Carbide Motion board you own: 1. Maximum is 32256 bytes. This was because the material is 6 wide and I set 6 between the clamps. From here, click the jog button to begin the homing process. As the operation runs, Carbide Motion will update you with the progress. Do yo mean the lines of code? Typically, you would think about how large your job is, then setup your material and clamps accordingly, just as I did in this job. Learn and Share with us! I will be fine tooth combing my software tonight when I get home. When you get close to the point where you want X/Y to begin, its time to touch off. Now Carbide Motion stop showing the cutter position. Put a doormat there (or if you are nerdy call it 127.0.0.1).

YOU MUST HOLD THE Z-AXIS LIMIT SWITCH DOWN WHILE UPDATING THE FIRMWARE. US, 310-504-3637 We recommend resting the cover on a box or something similar to prevent tears in the bottom crease of the electronics cover. Computer side: Carbide motion error "cutter not found" . If you were to write those coordinates down, then shut off the machine. Get Carbide Create Here MeshCAM If you need to download MeshCAM, click here Carbide Motion V3 Carbide Motion is a ground-up rethinking of how a machine controller should work. In file included from C:\Users\traci\Documents\Arduino\libraries\grbl/grbl.h:43:0, Although the material is bigger, we are only going to be using a portion of the stock. Now its time to load the second operation. The job consists of 2 operations (or ops, as they say in the biz). Before we can begin operation 2, we need to get back to the same exact position we defined for operation 1 (the same job zero location). Click the run button, and Carbide Motion will move you to the run screen. ~>mm*a7_|Hh"/S{b&39 (Pi >j )%WQ,]WYM7I7 G=s/:2P5qBLw}GwkJ%r3s+?Q$u$u__>Q~C%:!t7i[ - iwFJBG~W.2).Hq8 ~)IqJW#n)vICRlb[|)b()KNRbX! I have verified that its not USB plug by plugging in other devices. You will be presented with the main screen. Theres an explicit step/dialog during the install that performs this operation (IIRC). (Finished with a quick pass of Scotch Brite). Pull the assembly back and up, wiggling to clear the Y motor bracket. Follow the onscreen instructions and make sure your machine is connected to your computer and the power is turned on. Now Im on to learning how to convert a jpg (for example) into a svg. Set your XY zero, burn a spot, put a v-bit in the collet, move the v-bit to the burn spot, record the offset. did you already initialize machine ? Do you use a ShapeOko CNC machine? Not sure if the current power supply is auto-switching if its not, make certain that the switch on it is set to the correct setting for your local electric grid. Other times youll need to use multiple size tools in order to create the features you need. s^u9pp)p8 `7 `88l6:`-*`X @?X I had tried a universal gcodesender before and that wasnt working either. It can mean other things, for instance, you could touch-off on an edge. It said the upload was complete, but after that when I went into the universal gcode sender, I put my comport to the right one, selected baud 115200 and selected GRBL. Carbide Motion remembers your last offsets and gives you easy access to return to those positions, reliably and repeatably. The 125 portion of the filename indicates that gcode uses a 1/8 (0.125) cutter. First attempt at connecting to carbide motion. x]n@E|,EDBHQH^0R |;LatK11#YNvYy?%un:/zm2'w`Oyi\ugf~1>{6'GGTl[j. When the bit catches the paper, and prevents you from moving it back and forth, stop jogging the Z-axis down! Everything required is built into the program. The work coordinate system can be complicated and intimidating. Export the G-Code again. You can now proceed with the update. Once the file is loaded, click the Run menu. Ive also tried 3 different cables going between the computer and arduino. (Please check your power supply and ensure that if there is a physical switch, it is set to match your local power standard before plugging it in. It's likely that your controller pcb is defective. Usually you can only jog after that step not sure how to do thatI thought I was admin(only one on this laptop). Click the Set Zero button in the Carbide Motion Jog Screen. ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. Just press the Current Offset (X & Y) button to return the machine to the last offset you created! I see this question was asked on May 17th, but it was concerning build 517 and this current build is 537. This is home. (Finished part using two different tools). You will need to be able to reach both the z-axis limit switch and your mouse or touchpad. Instead of getting that window, mine just closes. You should contact the customer support and work with them. From this screen you can copy the plain text G-Code to your clipboard, from which you can do whatever youd like. Okay, I think my Crashing in CNC mode thread has largely run it's course and the answer was the Luban software is nowhere near mature enough for serious use in CNC mode. Either way, just remember the back right corner is home. Open the Carbide Updater software that you downloaded from the links above. do they take a while to get back to you? You can now click the 'OK' button to bring you back to the main screen, where you can click 'Quit' to exit the program. (you may need to disable the bitsetter in the settings first, then initialize, then do the jog/etc and then turn the bitsetter on). The first op is using the 1/8 endmill to machine 4 slightly larger than 1/8 holes (Carbide Create does not drill, so a hole must be at least 10% larger in diameter than the endmill used to machine it), and to create a 3/16 wide slot down the right side. (Showing the 3D preview of the first operation with Carbide Create). Assembly of the machine was great! I put it away for about 6 months because I couldnt figure out inkscape. Hit the "Connect" button, load the G-code file. Using the load menu, browse for, locate, and open your second operation G-Code file. Provide that information here, and to support@carbide3d.com if things dont work were glad to work w/ you to crowdsource a solution for you, but you have to work w/ us to provide enough information for us to provide meaningful suggestions, and you need to be willing to try them and report back on what does or doesnt happen. You can close Carbide Motion and shut the power down to your machine if you'd like. A V shaped cutter is used to create V-carving designs. Double and triple check that it is the A1 pin you're cutting. Once you are happy with the way the material is being held down, its time to load up Carbide Motion and connect to the machine. If you look at the coordinates for X, Y, and Z. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. You should see the Shapeoko 3 in the Ports (COM & LPT) section: Everything checks out till step 7. I can power the machine on; power button light and main power light (between power and usb input) is on solid, no lights on the board itself (tx/rx, etc), no motor activity (locking). These coordinates shown are the distances from each axis away from the home position. Global variables use 1484 bytes (72%) of dynamic memory, leaving 564 bytes for local variables. With the 1/4 toolpaths disabled, click the green save GCode button at the bottom of the screen. 90505 ok, rebooted computersame. This is because after each axis touched its home switch, it backed off 5mm, so as not to be sitting on the switch (which would trigger an error). Personally, I have found both MeshCAM (in combination with Blender and/or SketchUp), and the Vectric programs to be excellent. Everything worked fine. Look in the bottom-left corner of the PCB for the board version number. It keeps giving me an error saying "Cutter Not Found". If you'd like the raw hex file for GRBL 1.1 anyway, it's here. The only things in the top menu bar are: RUN, MDI, and SETTINGS. Please e-mail support@carbide3d.com and they should be able to square you away if its something which needs to be replaced. This is a good habit to get into and will provide us with more flexibility down the road. #define bit(n) (1 << n), In file included from sketch\grblUpload.ino.cpp:1:0: right click installer app, pop up menu should provide run as administrator option. K lV[,!Rd]g2eQjwb{pr7=JlyElR;Sw]$ See the Appendix below on updating your Nomad 883 Classic. We are using the 1/4 endmill to speed up the time it takes to create the large pocket in the middle of the part. (Flashed grblUpload to the Arduino). I cant remember If the board just had a blue light or if it had other lights when it fires up. Unplug it, move the gantry around, do whatever. Because we are starting a new job, we need to clear any existing offsets. This will alert Carbide Motion that your Shapeoko has homing switches installed and allow it to run homing cycles. If youre looking for a ballpark idea that you have loaded the correct file, the extents are a good place to look. C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:93:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition Do you use a ShapeOko CNC machine? I am having the exact same problem as Ken. When you get the cutter to the correct position (a piece of papers width from the material), click the Set Zero button, and then click Zero Z. The job is done, the machine will move to the center-back position, and it will be safe to shut off the router, and disconnect from the machine. Because this can be a somewhat tricky process, and could potentially render your controller useless, we have developed a dedicated program to safely connect to and update your controller. You can now bend the electronics cover back. 9am - 3pm PST, M-F, High performance without needing a fully dedicated computer. We support both Windows and Mac for all of our software. Carbide Motion is the machine controller software for all of our Carbide 3D machines. More on this in a minute. avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x47 http://shapeoko.github.io/Docs/software.html. turn on the Shapeoko, hear the stepper motors click in place. To begin, right click (or ctl+click) on the 1/4 toolpaths (pocket, profile) and select disable. I wonder was the problem ever fixed and what do I have to do to fix my connection error. Once the first op is exported, go back to the toolpath list and enable the 1/4 cutter toolpaths that were previously disabled.
