The following details the lessons I learned. I made the switch from GRBL v0.8 to v1.1 a few months back. I hope that this helps to get you up and running.STOP! Before you do anything, save a copy of your GRBL settings.
Grbl controller shapeoko trial#
I've just run through these steps myself with the Cut2D 1.5 Trial Edition to confirm that they do work. Save the new toolpath using the the shapeoko post from the inventables site Click 'Calculate' to regenerate it from the newly scaled artwork Double-click the existing 'Profile 1' toolpath in the toolpath list Check the 'Center data in job' & 'Scale data with job' Set the job size and origin location you want to try Click 'Set Job Dimensions & Origin' under File Operations I'm afraid you must be doing an additional, unintended, step here? My steps to resize are: I don't have access to Easel, but since it is only intended for use with a Shapeoko, I would expect that they explicitly set the Grbl up with the shapeoko-specific values for you before running a toolpath?Īlso, as Adrian says, resizing or moving the origin of trial files is explicitly allowed and will not trigger the save disable Adding, removing or editing the drawings will, however.
In particular, discrepancies in the $0, $1 & $2 values will have the apparent effect of scaling any output when you cut it.
Grbl controller shapeoko serial#
If you type in '$$' in your serial comms software (I use coolterm here) before sending your toolpath, then you should be able to verify that the settings match the ones suggested on the Shapeoko site. My *guess* would be that you perhaps haven't got the correct settings on the grbl itself before running the toolpath? I'm using a shapeoko 1, with Grbl and GShield here at my desk. (But i know i will try because i would really like to get this program working properly)
Grbl controller shapeoko code#
I could supply the code from cutcd if that would be of any help, but i am clueless, and since i am limited to the examples and cant tweak/change the program measurements to try and get an intuitive view of what it is doing, i really cant go any further with it. still wondering what happenned with cutcd. It went about air milling a 3 inch circle. Set the origin to where i would have enough room (since it does not have a centering function), and it went through the motions just fine.
Grbl controller shapeoko 64 Bit#
If i had a 64 bit machine i would be able to do all three.īut since i have a 32 bit machine i could draw it and export the code to use with my grbl controller.
I tried using Easel (beta stage) which is an extremely simplistic draw, preview and run gcode right from the web. There should have been about 5 inches clearance above and below the x and y which would be enough to do wingspar which should have went plus or minus 3 inches. But i did center it on the board and zeroed the controller. I am really not sure if its a scaling problem. What postprocessor did you use? I would like to try it ( I really don't have time to try 100+ different postprocessors to see which one works)
So the question is, has anyone successfully used this software with the stock setup I have? (Arduino with Gshield/ and Grbl controllersoftware, using Windoz XP (bootcamped in macbook). Unfortunately I couldn't change anything about the size or scaling as the sample only works "as is" and you cant modify it. It went all the way to the side wall and I had to cut power. The controller showed a preview of the path with the same inch size and path that was shown in the cut2d software. I like the "centering idea" of this software and I moved the spindle position in center so I knew I would definitely have enough room for this job. So the first trial sample of a wingspar was in inches and I used the inches postprocessor. And the ones I got were from the inventables site that were supposed to be for this software (one for inches and one for mm). I am trying Cut 2d trial and having a problem with the post processrors. Going back and forth between Cut 2d and other software. I have the stock ShapeOko 2 with the arduino/grblshield.
