Hi, I can't get the cutting file to run on Openbuilds. The message tells me there is a letter missing on the G code line. What is the correct file extension to save it so that Openbuilds will open it correctly? If that is the problem?
the file name and extension do not matter at all, Gcvode is just plain text. What matters is the postprocessor, you must use the openbuilds one for vcarve so it produces gcode that is correct for GRBL controllers. docs:software:vectric [OpenBuilds Documentation]
So, V carve pro V6.5? (Program Updates〡Vectric) That may not help you though as it looks though you will need a grbl post processor - before my time in cnc, but I believe grbl dates from 2014? Options are, ask Vectric for help, upgrade your Vectric software . VCarve Pro v12 Alex.
I am currently looking at Carbide V6. Will this program save G-code that will be recognised by Openbuilds as a cutting file? My current Vcarve is out of date and to expensive to buy the new version.
We are a Company actually, so you might refer to OpenBuildsCONTROL (or just CONTROL) instead? CONTROL doesn't matter. We don't do anything except send the file along... To a Grbl compatible controller Looks for GRBL compatible CAMs: docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation] - if in doubt ask the CAM vendor whether they are 100% grbl / grblHAL compatible
