My computer doesnt even acknowledge the USB plug when I plug it in or unplug the machine. We recommend resting the cover on a box or something similar to prevent tears in the bottom crease of the electronics cover. The 125 portion of the filename indicates that gcode uses a 1/8 (0.125) cutter. (1/4 Square Endmill on left, 1/8 square endmill on right). US, 310-504-3637 avr_read(): error reading address 0x0000 This is the bleeding edge. I find Vectric's VCarve to be very intuitive, and the video tutorials make learning the more advanced things much easier. )R0JaB/N It keeps giving me an error saying "Cutter Not Found". But if the rest of the job could use a 1/4 cutter, you could do a tool change just to make the 1/8 holes. :! A=*A9C :*H2 7L JzP/~AL|W"Atoo At this point, it is safe to turn the router off, and to turn off the machine. Home This is a fixed location on your machine where the carriages park after sending the home command. 3630 Skypark Dr. "*ERD",EHRdI)E@)K"M try as admin? The Z-axis needs to be reset because Carbide Motion doesnt know how long the tool you inserted for operation 2 is, compared to the tool you used for operation 1. But, if you have customized settings (such as steps/mm or your table size) - you'll need to make a note of those before proceeding, and re-apply them manually at the end of this process. You can now bend the electronics cover back. On the surface, these may not make sense. One thing to check on a windows computer, is look in "Device Manager" (Right click on "This PC" select Manage and select Device Manager in the left window pane). From this screen you can copy the plain text G-Code to your clipboard, from which you can do whatever youd like. To compound the confusion, in our example (and in many projects youll run into), the origin is in the bottom left, and the design (where the tool will actual cut) is not exactly on the origin. You will be presented with the main screen. I am having the exact same problem as Ken. device drivers??? ~>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!

This is a big step. #define bit(b) (1UL << (b)), Sketch uses 29594 bytes (91%) of program storage space. After the homing routine has completed, press the Rapid Position button from the jog menu. This SOP assumes a base knowledge of Solidworks and assumes the user has taken ME-12S or has comparable machining knowledge As the bit moves closer to the material, its easier to see how close you are to where you want to start the job. And tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any suggestions before I start to bug the tech support guys? 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. 8D]MUE4&id9"FDATO&kg@||/?#o_>Fwooom){@^CUoW_[d-~:| Sometimes youll want multiple tools to speed things up. One of the features it does is to measure the tool, so this step (resetting the Z-axis) does not have to be done. The second op is using the 1/4 endmill to create a large pocket in the middle of the part, then to cut out the profile of the part. Done! You could figure out the offset between the router and laser and then do whatever your controller allows for setting that offset as your new working coordinates (WCS). For instance, you cant drill a 1/8 hole with a 1/4 cutter. 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. As it does, Carbide Motion will update you on the progress of your job. Its very important, especially with harder material to hold down your stock with an adequate amount of force. 140 0 obj <> endobj 165 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[]/Index[140 42]/Info 139 0 R/Length 116/Prev 856843/Root 141 0 R/Size 182/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream Tried 2 other cords.
