Re: Missing lines of "Gcode"

Mike,

We are located in the Toldeo Ohio area. I will be Tn for the Vectric training in Oct.

Re: Missing lines of "Gcode"

Since the bits are not all the same length that would be difficult. it is easier to save the files for each toolpath that has a differnt bit. once you finish one program change the bit in the router then move the bit on the top on the wood again and only zero the Z axis. Leave the others axis alone ...

Re: Shark Quit--Anyone Have Same Prob?

This can happen when the computer is left alone and it goes into a powersave mode and disconnects the usb bus. Any interuption in the USB will cause the Controller to disconnect to prevent stray commands from going into the controller. This can also be caused by wireless connections and wireless mic...

Re: Updated Software and Post Processors

Actually Vectric uses the same post processor for Vcarve,Cut 3d and Aspire. The only difference is photocarve does not use Arcs so it has a differnt post processor. You can copy the Vcarve post processor to the Cut 3d postp folder.

Re: Missing lines of "Gcode"

That should not be happening. It should just update once. Try it without the sd card in and see if that works.
If not email us at the contactus page on cncshark.com and we can get your controller repaired.
