Transferring file from USB to Pendant (sd100)

Post by harpone »

Just starting. Cut a sample trivet easily. I made a circle pattern on VCarve and sent it to thumb drive. Connected thumb drive to pendant and the crv file is not shown. What am I missing here?

A .crv file is a VCarve file. It can only be opened by VCarve (or Aspire, perhaps), not by your CNC machine. Your CNC machine isn't even looking for .crv files.

You need to create toolpaths, export those as g-code files, then load those.
