Re: Controller Replacement BlackBox
Should work as long as your stepper motors are 4 wire. You will also need a control software such as Mach3.

Re: laser issue
Go to New Waves Automation website and look under down loads and there will be a link for the laser module and it will give you instructions on how to set up the laser in the tool data base.

Re: laser issue
What design software are you using? If your using Vectric, then did you use the laser tool in the tool data base included with the the software? I have a Shark II and I have to use the Piranha Laser PP for it to turn on the laser. I also made my own laser tool in the tool date base and set the RPM's...

Re: What file extensions are supported by Shark CNC?
No, I have not tried any of the other g-code file extension as I just received the machine this past week and I am in process of playing around to see how things work. I'm use to using Mach 3 with my last 2 diy built machines.

Re: What file extensions are supported by Shark CNC?
Do you know if the Shark controller reads only .tap files and not other G-code files such as .nc or .txt. I have used Mach 3 in the past and it would load all 3 of these files this is why I am asking.
Thanks, Dave

What file extensions are supported by Shark CNC?
I have a program (Microcarve V4) that saves the G-code file with the extension of .nc. Will the Shark controller recognize this file and run it? I have not tried it yet, but I thought I'd ask the question before I mess something up on my new machine.
Thanks, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.

Re: Tell us where you're from map
Hello everyone, home base is in Lyons Oh, but the wife and I live in a 5th wheel and travel between northern Michigan and Florida. And yes the Shark II I just purchased will be going with us.
Thanks all, Dave Hallett
