Click the start button, and you will be presented with the Tool Load prompt. ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. Remove the Carbide Motion board by pulling it free from the arduino UNO. It didnt give me any errors or anything. Remove the Carbide Motion board enclosure cover. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, over USB to power the Arduino I believe this lights up the blue light, through the power supply to power the stepper motors I believe this is what locks the motor and creates the hum. Sorry to state the obvious, you surely did try, but I must say it: did you try to simply restart the computer? Once done you'll be presented with the screen asking you to release the Z limit switch. To prevent gouging our beautiful aluminum threaded table, we use the wood as a sacrificial layer. See the photos below for reference. ), (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). device manager does not register when I plug machine in. Luckily, Carbide Motion remembers that information for us. Although the material is bigger, we are only going to be using a portion of the stock. The material we are using is 1/8 thick 6061 aluminum. I cant type any commands in the universal gcode sender program. When the bit catches the paper, and prevents you from moving it back and forth, stop jogging the Z-axis down! It seems to come on when I power the machine. When you design and produce the machine, and write the software to control them, the two can work together in a way not possible to those who rely on 3rd party vendors for support. hmO#7#$@ '!^,!A!Tw.IvPhggYie8(p:yL5^ue,n2)!Fq(2^BI`e@0eg@m."eVD/_5bTz0{RNWU The program will find your connected machine, and present you with the screen: Once the updating begins, you will be presented with the following screen: After the updating process is complete (will generally take less than 30 seconds), the software will alert you that it is safe to release the z-axis limit switch. This is basically the landing screen of the program once you are connected. From here its important to note a few features. This will force the homing routine to begin. Both v3 and v4 of carbide motion. Done! Everything worked fine. MANY alternative GRBL clients exist, of all shapes and forms, like Universal G-Code Sender (UGS), so Linux users may look at that. Get started with your Shapeoko Pro here.. Shapeoko 4 Resources. After you learn how to use your machine for basics jobs, you will inevitably wonder how to use multiple tools to create a single part. The work coordinate system can be complicated and intimidating. x t\5ZuNn%uZjInd[j[dmmg hm,:$po8L]U][o>;'frl !}l[Ddmh7JHa f"DVs7m} Just press the Current Offset (X & Y) button to return the machine to the last offset you created! So where ever your machine thinks 0,0,0 is, that is where the job will begin from. When the pin is cut, the header should look like the below picture. I looked in the device manager and I can see it on COM 5 listed as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM5). We recommend resting the cover on a box or something similar to prevent tears in the bottom crease of the electronics cover. USB registers that device was connected. This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet. To begin, right click (or ctl+click) on the 1/4 toolpaths (pocket, profile) and select disable. 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). I contacted support and they were quick to reply with the 'did you turn it on and plug it in, etc' response (I understand that is probably a boilerplate reply and would fix 95% of their issues so I'm not mad at it), but I have not received a follow up reply today so I figured I'd throw it out here. Now Im on to learning how to convert a jpg (for example) into a svg. 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). 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. K;D-tH MWE,v&A_i7 I will be fine tooth combing my software tonight when I get home. This is the bleeding edge. Carbide Motion is the machine controller software for all of our Carbide 3D machines. To begin the job, click the play button in the middle of the screen. Before you can use your machine again, You'll need to get the settings back to the correct values. The machine gets power in two different ways: Theres a power switch for the latter make certain that its switched to on. My S-Pro is running, the computer is connected and recognized the CNC, Im running Carbide Motion. No explanation, no nothing. You will be presented with the main screen. %PDF-1.6 % Please e-mail support@carbide3d.com and they should be able to square you away if its something which needs to be replaced. -Open carbide motion 3.0.368 (tried with v4 also)-connect to cutter ( I receive different errors on different attempts. Wait until the micro-controller boots up (early versions woulddraw power over the USB connection to run the Arduino, but this is no longer the case), and lights will flash at first, then glow steadily once booted up. Instead of getting that window, mine just closes. Open the connection to the machine (it should connect and afford one control) Troubleshooting If that doesn't work properly, then it should be a straight-forward matter to determine the difficulty: Check the power Check the USB cable and USB port try a different USB port (or machine) if possible. Please do as @UncommonDad noted and check your Windows install that it is properly accessing the Arduino on the Carbide Motion board properly. I am using the usb cable that came with the CNC. do they take a while to get back to you? right click installer app, pop up menu should provide run as administrator option. My computer recognizes that a device is there when I plug in my USB. Once Carbide Motion is connected to the machine, its time to really take advantage of the features we have built in. K lV[,!Rd]g2eQjwb{pr7=JlyElR;Sw]$ Carbide Motion detects which Carbide3D CNC machine is connected, and acts appropriately. Click the 'SETTINGS' tab at the top right of the screen. If you pocket out a 1 inch hole you'll be left with a 1 inch hole and no plug (as you've turned the plug to sawdust). I believe it is a Shapeoko 2 that we have. I guess I havent been as clear as I should. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, http://diymachining.com/diy-cnc-controller-how-to-setup-your-arduino-gshield/. 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). I read some of the other articles on here and I cant seem to get it to work even after that. You should contact the customer support and work with them. uninstalled and reinstalled carbide motionsame. The Nomad CNC machine that we also designed, actually has a tool probe built in. Sometimes when I click connect to cutter my laptop chime like a USB device was unplugged and then carbide motion shuts itself). With your G-Code now saved, its time to move to the machine! I cant remember If the board just had a blue light or if it had other lights when it fires up. Consider yourself warned. After the tool has been changed (be sure to tighten the collet nut with a wrench! 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. Fold the acrylic window up and back so it rests flat on the top of the machine. Export the G-Code again. I have verified that its not USB plug by plugging in other devices. To reset the Z-axis, just touch off again! What we need to do now, is move the machine to where the job is going to start. See Fig. When you select pocket in Carbide Create it removed all the material inside the vector. Please go through the machine operating checklist: http://docs.carbide3d.com/article/41-machine-operating-checklist. A]/"u"4*ZAZUI0w Do you use a ShapeOko CNC machine?

My S-Pro is running, the computer is connected and recognized the CNC, I'm running Carbide Motion, 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. Just know that when you click home the machine will always move to this exact position. Sent email last night to support. 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. However, the Z-axis needs to reset. #define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)? You need only to select the appropriate machine from the dropdown list, and click 'Send Config'. Theres an explicit step/dialog during the install that performs this operation (IIRC). )VKJA)VJBRH/2)J')KH^)J@RH1On)Cv)hEf)J1GMR4J1[YRAz)Fj)Br)(Db)I1CB) This will open a tab in your browser and show a real time stream of send/receive data between your computer and controller. No. With the job loaded, its time to run this operation! Ive also tried 3 different cables going between the computer and arduino. Carbide Motion is a ground-up rethinking of how a machine controller should work. 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. 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. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, https://carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/download/. the cutting motion can be in both directions, as indicated by the arrow.

Check the USB cable and USB port try a different USB port (or machine) if possible. Its important to note here that we just moved the machine back to the exact X and Y coordinates where our first operation was started. (Showing the 3D preview of the first operation with Carbide Create). First attempt at connecting to carbide motion. 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). Maximum is 32256 bytes. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Carbide3D provides a SW called Carbide Motion, a simple interface for Windows and Mac, for interacting with GRBL in the shapeoko controller, to jog the machine into position, load a G-code file, and execute it. hbbd```b``Q 1DyH&0d Think of Carbide Motion as the dashboard for your CNC machine. Notice the swivel has positioned the 9am - 3pm PST, M-F, High performance without needing a fully dedicated computer. It's important to remember that the flatness of your material will make a difference with the results when using a V-cutter. Because of how V-carving toolpaths are generated, you can create very fine andvery wide details with the same cutter. 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. You cannot use Carbide Motion v4 and Grbl v0.9, You cannot use Grbl v1.1 and Carbide Motion v3. You will need to be able to reach both the z-axis limit switch and your mouse or touchpad. Pull the assembly back and up, wiggling to clear the Y motor bracket. Replace the existing install if prompted. On the shapeoko board I only get the blue light. Global variables use 1484 bytes (72%) of dynamic memory, leaving 564 bytes for local variables. You should see the Shapeoko 3 in the Ports (COM & LPT) section: Everything checks out till step 7. So the home position is actually 5mm away from the switchs contact point. This will put a strikethrough across their toolpaths names, alerting you they are no longer active. Follow along. (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. (Right) the carbide cutter is shown cutting under the shoulder of a vessel. WARNING: DO NOT CLICK ANY OTHER BUTTON ON THE TOP MENU YET! Congratulations! Then turn the machine back on, and re-connect with Carbide Motion, you could get back to EXACTLY this position. from C:\Users\traci\Documents\Arduino\libraries\grbl\examples\grblUpload\grblUpload.ino:27: We support both Windows and Mac for all of our software. Make sure the USB cable is plugged in. This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply. avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x47. Mr William Adams and Mr Brandon Lee were a huge help and helped me through my problems. A V shaped cutter is used to create V-carving designs. Showing the percentage completed, and the line number of G-Code it is currently processing. Personally, I have found both MeshCAM (in combination with Blender and/or SketchUp), and the Vectric programs to be excellent. Get started with your Shapeoko 4 here.. Nomad 3 Resources We're going to remove pin 1, or A1. :! A=*A9C :*H2 7L JzP/~AL|W"Atoo 3630 Skypark Dr. That was on the steps that I posted originally that I was trying to follow. That being said, I cant seem to get Carbide Motion to see my cutter. You think, I just homed the machine, cant I run the job from here? The next step is to "set up the BitSetter . My laptop doesnt even recognize that there is anything plugged in to the USB port when I plug into shapeoko. This is basically the landing screen of the program once you are connected. 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. Any suggestions before I start to bug the tech support guys? This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet.) There is a piece of 1/8 wood between the aluminum and the table. We named our file stand_op1_125. (a):(b)), In file included from C:\Users\traci\Documents\Arduino\libraries\grbl/grbl.h:43:0, I went through the steps on this link http://diymachining.com/diy-cnc-controller-how-to-setup-your-arduino-gshield/ before trying to get it to work that way. But by and large, it means setting your z-axis zero point. I'm very impressed with the overall construction and design of the machine. On Macs, resetting the PRAM (command option p r when rebooting) and resetting the System Management Chip (check Apples support page for your system) has helped on some systems --- presumably where there was a problem with the USB system.

My computer recognizes that a device is there when I plug in my USB. When you launch the Carbide Updater application and click on Search for Machines, you may be presented with this warning message: This just means that we need to tell the Carbide Updater where the Nomad is connected. This is because the cutting tool will be going all the way through the material. 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. C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:92:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition CONTINUE HOLDING IN THE Z-AXIS LIMIT SWITCH UNTIL THE SOFTWARE TELLS YOU TO RELEASE IT. 2. Put a doormat there (or if you are nerdy call it 127.0.0.1). Every time. Carbide Motion is only available for the Nomad and Shapeoko CNC machines. ]MK3RVy_WuXWWM] _gUQmT{P2(F$#x9)6D G[/Pk]uD >6Zk'e4 /"rUDN0 Carbide Motion is the machine control software used to operate your Nomad or Shapeoko CNC machine from Carbide3D. . avrdude: stk500_cmd(): programmer is out of sync (Finished with a quick pass of Scotch Brite). After the homing routine has completed, press the Rapid Position button from the jog menu. The Nomad 883 Classic has a prevous version of the bootloader, so the update process will start automatically (no need to press the Z limit switch). 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). For this job were going to use two different end mills: Note: the two endmills have different shank sizes as well as cutting diameters. This will alert Carbide Motion that your Shapeoko has homing switches installed and allow it to run homing cycles. I have to admit that Im challenged when it comes to this stuff. The job consists of 2 operations (or ops, as they say in the biz). I think my board is bad but I cant remember if the blue light is the only light on the board. Ensure you have the correct tool in place, then turn the router on. Thank you, I went to that and tried it, but came across 2 problems. Do you use a ShapeOko CNC machine? In order to connect to the machine and get it to move, several things need to happen: It is suggested that one connects to the machine in the sequence suggested on the Operating Checklist: If that doesnt work properly, then it should be a straight-forward matter to determine the difficulty: Please contact us and well get your machine moving. I see this question was asked on May 17th, but it was concerning build 517 and this current build is 537. 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). But there is no Jog option! My computer doesnt even acknowledge the USB plug when I plug it in or unplug the machine. Click the Jog button in Carbide Motion. no. Youre going to see this term everywhere. 90505 You do not need to download a seperate hex file, driver, or anything else to get this to work correctly. The material setup in Carbide Create was set to 6 6. Get Carbide Create Here MeshCAM If you need to download MeshCAM, click here Carbide Motion V3 It was purchased 2nd hand from someone else and Im not entirely sure. These coordinates shown are the distances from each axis away from the home position. Touching off is setting the zero point on your Z-axis. This requires us to use two different size collets. We setup the material in Carbide Create to be 6 6 1/8. I get to step 6 and then cant go any further at sub-step 7 where it says (If all systems are go then you will see a welcome message in the console window grbl v0.9 [$ for help]."). avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x47 When I got the machine I set it up and did my shapeoko logo and my coasters. read operation not supported for memory flash The Carbide Updater is a utility to safely flash the latest firmware to your Carbide Motion PCB. #define bit(n) (1 << n), In file included from sketch\grblUpload.ino.cpp:1:0: Look in the bottom-left corner of the PCB for the board version number. And yes, give the Carbide Team some response time allowance theyre a busy crew. But, you dont need to write those coordinates down. I thought maybe because that didnt work and I saw Shapeoko used Carbide Create, I thought maybe Carbide Motion would fix my problem. Thank you for your reply. Carbide Create is the 2.5D CAD/CAM program from Carbide3D and is dsigned to work hand in hand with Carbide Motion.
