Check the USB cable and USB port try a different USB port (or machine) if possible. This will alert Carbide Motion that your Shapeoko has homing switches installed and allow it to run homing cycles. With the changes made to Grbl v1.1, the previous version of Carbide Motion (v3) is no longer compatible. Job Zero This is where you move your machine to in order to begin the job, Lower the Z-axis down towards the material. USB registers that device was connected. You can now proceed with the update. Maximum is 32256 bytes. It keeps giving me an error saying Cutter Not Found. . For Windows, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver may help. turn on the Shapeoko, hear the stepper motors click in place. 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.

Okay, so the two primary alternatives seem to be Fusion 360 and Carbide Create. Follow along. @[v )"w$vAmYt~29Y&AmHf zZ'h5 Z-h(7(B+\~A-'h PA'[PW2{t!.-F5j,hH#5rf%r T+FPJPBP2QYQXP Personally, I have found both MeshCAM (in combination with Blender and/or SketchUp), and the Vectric programs to be excellent. My S-Pro is running, the computer is connected and recognized the CNC, I'm running Carbide Motion, I click 'settings', then 'options', I mark BitSetter enabled, I select Shapeoko Pro as the machine type, and click 'send configuration data', it takes a second as it sends the data. If you were to write those coordinates down, then shut off the machine. If you'd like the raw hex file for GRBL 1.1 anyway, it's here. I have verified in my device manager that the Shapeoko is connected and ready for use. It seems to come on when I power the machine. Carbide Motion is the machine control software used to operate your Nomad or Shapeoko CNC machine from Carbide3D. The Rapid Coordinate System built into Carbide Motion allows Carbide3D machines to move very quickly from the home position to 9 waypoints on the machine table. K lV[,!Rd]g2eQjwb{pr7=JlyElR;Sw]$ Point is, there are a variety of reasons you might want to change tools. New replies are no longer allowed. avrdude: failed to read all of flash memory, rc=-2 The work coordinate system can be complicated and intimidating. When the pin is cut, the header should look like the below picture. ), (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). (Finished with a quick pass of Scotch Brite). Carbide Motion also works with other free CNC software. Remove the Carbide Motion board by pulling it free from the arduino UNO. Congratulations!

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. My computer recognizes that a device is there when I plug in my USB. Click the 'SETTINGS' tab at the top right of the screen. You can now click the 'OK' button to bring you back to the main screen, where you can click 'Quit' to exit the program. Indicating the percentage of the job completed, and what line of G-Code the job is currently running. That being said, I cant seem to get Carbide Motion to see my cutter. hmO#7#$@ '!^,!A!Tw.IvPhggYie8(p:yL5^ue,n2)!Fq(2^BI`e@0eg@m."eVD/_5bTz0{RNWU We have now jogged our machine away from the home position, and to where we want the job to actually begin! See the photos below for reference. Also, support needs to know about instances where machines dont work, whether thats due to unclear instructions, difficulties w/ the software or the machines or the firmware, or local environmental issues so that they can improve their documentation, and work to prevent these sorts of issues from recurring for others. I can power the machine on; power button light and main power light (between power and usb input) is on solid, no lights on the board itself (tx/rx, etc), no motor activity (locking). I obviously cant go any further than that because it doesnt seem like the board is powering up. Once that is completed, disable the 1/8 toolpath (holes). Back to the machine: Now that the machine is positioned exactly where we want it to be for the job, we need to zero all 3 of the axis: X, Y, and Z. Either way, just remember the back right corner is home. %PDF-1.6 % K"`! . 6hn oGlja.zBrEUzr3y!CF"!ytN[E=_nB&?<=q0M!&t6f1OyIELUySX'kXX?}N{ ,$d9YAVAS#fX|2Bi7 ^>kNd7C.R!w!#r0w/9}?tTQrysRn$7/n!_&_|;3s'Wy. Now its time to load the second operation. 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. Regardless of what the Position reads, click the Set Zero button. USB registers that device was connected. Shapeoko 5 Pro Resources. ), turn the power to the CNC back on, and re-connect Carbide Motion. Because of how V-carving toolpaths are generated, you can create very fine andvery wide details with the same cutter. As the bit gets closer, slow down (or decrease the increment) you are using to jog. YOU MUST HOLD THE Z-AXIS LIMIT SWITCH DOWN WHILE UPDATING THE FIRMWARE. With the settings now put back to their correct values, you need to turn on Homing. On the shapeoko board I only get the blue light. Then turn the machine back on, and re-connect with Carbide Motion, you could get back to EXACTLY this position. (a) : (b)), In file included from sketch\grblUpload.ino.cpp:1:0: Note that Carbide Motion V3 only supports GRBL 1.0 and earlier. Now Carbide Motion stop showing the cutter position. Pull the assembly back and up, wiggling to clear the Y motor bracket. from C:\Users\traci\Documents\Arduino\libraries\grbl\examples\grblUpload\grblUpload.ino:27: Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. GRBL Error: Serial Port: NotOpenError GRBL Error: Cannot open port for cutter GRBL Error: serial Port: UnknownError. read operation not supported for memory flash Since Carbide Create seems to have the shallower learning curve, I figure I'll go from there. (Finished part using two different tools). Unplug the motor, limit switche, fan and power connectors. 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. Computer side: Carbide motion error "cutter not found" . This is a good habit to get into and will provide us with more flexibility down the road. ~>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! avrdude: stk500_loadaddr(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x10, avrdude: stk500_paged_load(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x10, resp=0x0d Be certain to power down completely as a part of testing. #define max(a,b) (((a) > (b)) ? 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. 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. Any suggestions before I start to bug the tech support guys? When you get close to the point where you want X/Y to begin, its time to touch off. if you don;t know what it is take a picture and post it? Touching off is setting the zero point on your Z-axis. Thats not too important, dont get hung up on it. xXY3H?[Sb=/usI'Q?PqcG-Xv8H;$0$0~| x`} 1||w@k6U}2pp3p} h E`7xB^NK]|` 5>9wL?}r\w=}==C-{h===ew]wwNGv;}up6m:oC[7\7nouV^7P-;oq]o}G|O]w}]u};Zq$TgJH-hH 8P]`RhOKoHW_w49Bi[ZvoGZW{ Emv/{^/^zQiP(k%-F$=n +Db7cTi^t.+dNd-Ow5w;qxI V+M;s'p(v;'J6q[ym*UM[LoYn&775em#>'v =,wn?||wW#"%9xy9pp)p8 `7l[-p>pl6 uZ` 0U X,~` E@/X zy@7t@;-@30& f @=P5@5PT@9P%@1P@!P Q "@B@L d i n8`l ft_P 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. For instance, you cant drill a 1/8 hole with a 1/4 cutter. 2. -Open carbide motion 3.0.368 (tried with v4 also)-connect to cutter ( I receive different errors on different attempts. When you select inside the edge of the endmill will follow the inside of the vector. If you want to view what is about to happen (you don't have to), click the 'Open Log' link. When the firmware is updated, all of the settings are reset (speed, steps/mm, acceleration, etc.). More on this in a minute. Because when you setup the job in Carbide Create, more than likely, the origin was in the bottom left hand corner. MANY alternative GRBL clients exist, of all shapes and forms, like Universal G-Code Sender (UGS), so Linux users may look at that. Because we just ran a homing cycle, we know the machine is in its home position. This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet. 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). You will be presented with the main screen. 1 Like Install Carbide Motion v4 by double clicking the file you just downloaded and following the onscreen instructions. A]/"u"4*ZAZUI0w Using a pair of wire cutters, cut the A1 pin as close to the plastic housing as possible. avr_read(): error reading address 0x0000 I used the Arduino IDE to flash that originally. Remove the bottom two screws and the four screws around the fan from the back cover, . Both v3 and v4 of carbide motion. To gain access to the electronics and remove the Carbide Motion board follow these steps. When I got the machine I set it up and did my shapeoko logo and my coasters. Youre going to see this term everywhere. Im on Mac and it did drive me crazy, completely randomly, the reboot works every time. These show you the total amount of travel in all axis. )R0JaB/N Did that work? After you have browsed for, and loaded the egc file, Carbide Motion will send you to the info screen. Imagine the design is laid out on your material. And yes, give the Carbide Team some response time allowance theyre a busy crew. This document will take you through the proceedure of upgrading your firmware from v0.9 to v1.1. The 1/4 endmill is using the 1/4 collet that is included with the Dewalt Router, the 1/8 endmill is using the 1/8 precision collet from the Carbide 3D shop. right click installer app, pop up menu should provide run as administrator option. I have to admit that Im challenged when it comes to this stuff. After the machine is homed, the gantry and carriage will be in the back right position of the table. I looked in the device manager and I can see it on COM 5 listed as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM5). Click the 'Toggle Shapeoko Homing' button. The next step is to set up the BitSetter, click jog in the top menu bar. You can close Carbide Motion and shut the power down to your machine if you'd like. \H&v\9@I%O\M BsUJmLDBq;)$+Q2FuXx"1]O|dyyD'BJOr}+L>hm}#A?k#>jvf\fk,9d.^BYkC"CI#-<6p%X/ObKSnR\1(:q3&h@n%&0 9k L@U>|7 68!tP)|*+ To prevent gouging our beautiful aluminum threaded table, we use the wood as a sacrificial layer. With the 1/4 toolpaths disabled, click the green save GCode button at the bottom of the screen. avrdude: stk500_cmd(): programmer is out of sync 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. 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. 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). I think my board is bad but I cant remember if the blue light is the only light on the board. Click the start button, and you will be presented with the Tool Load prompt. not sure how to do thatI thought I was admin(only one on this laptop). and if those things dont help, please either try a different machine, or contact support@carbide3d.com, enumerating all the things which youve tried thus far.

The next step is to "set up the BitSetter . I read some of the other articles on here and I cant seem to get it to work even after that. Hit the "Connect" button, load the G-code file. Sometimes when I click connect to cutter my laptop chime like a USB device was unplugged and then carbide motion shuts itself). Worked with them on the phone for a while. ), -Turn on power switch from shapeoko power supply (solid blue light from controller immediately, motors lock, hum from machine). US, 310-504-3637 So the home position is actually 5mm away from the switchs contact point. Mr William Adams and Mr Brandon Lee were a huge help and helped me through my problems. On the surface, these may not make sense. avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x47. Maximum is 2048 bytes. This makes sense because the shapeoko doesn't have power yet.) When the bit catches the paper, and prevents you from moving it back and forth, stop jogging the Z-axis down! 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). You need only to select the appropriate machine from the dropdown list, and click 'Send Config'. From the jog menu you can move to your job zero, and prepare your machine to run a job.
