I’m going to use this as a control system for my diy draw bot I built, it doesn’t know if it has a spindle or a pen so as long as the z axis picks up and lowers with the gcode then it should work out just fine. This will make things much more convenient, thanks for the video 🍻

Really liked your video. I need some assistance though if you could. I previously have used ugs to send progs and run. However I have the grbl plus android app and would like to use it. I can setup and programs but the machine is hitting soft limits but shouldn't be. How do I adjust the $20 settings etc assigned to the software. Or even better how do I reset my soft limits. I never had the issue with ugs

Hello, can you suggest a specific OTG hub for this kind of application? I am very interested in the possibility of charging the phone while using the data, but I never purchased a OTG hub before, so I'm not sure for what kind of model, brand or specifications should I look for. Thank you for this video

I’m curious, I have seen several videos where there is a conglomeration of dongles and cables to connect these devices. You can buy specialty cables on line for very cheap. For example a cable that has usb “type c” on one end and a “micro” usb on the other. What it the reason for the adapters?
@Wallworkshop2 жыл бұрын
You are right, you can buy a single OTG cable from USB C to USB mini. It has to be an OTG cable though not a standard USB. The reason is that an OTG cable or adaptor tells the phone it is the host and allows for a 5v output from the phone / tablet. On standard usb cables the phone will not output 5v and will be in slave mode. I use an adaptor for 2 reasons, it allows me to plug in a usb memory stick so that i can import the gcode files to the phone and it allows the phone to be powered / charged at the same time. A straight OTG cable won't allow either of these.

hi, I would ask you a question. I have an old CNC Fanuc Sigma VC1000 with the same serial port 25 pin DB25 and I would monitoring this machine using an ESP32. Not only monitoring but also send it the gcode. In your opinion how can I do that? For monitoring I mean sending the machine some code for example D600 and the machine could answer me about the status: stop, word, allarm, type allarm. Sending gcode I don't know yet.

It looks neat. But play store says not available for this device as was written for an earlier version of Android. Someone posted a link below to get around that, but it doesn't work for me. Tablet is a Lenovo M10 plus gen 3 running Android 13. Suspect may be related to the huge restrictions Google have added in recent versions which seriously limit what a app can access outside it's own local file space. Android used to be a nice little OS once .... UPDATE: Says same on Google Pixel 2 running Android 11. Developer says cause is the changes Google have made to file system access. He may update it. I can sympathise, have pulled my apps off Google Play Store for similar reasons. Doubtless Google have their reasons but I feel they've broken Android - it was a nice open OS, now it isn't, it's now following the iPhone model.

This is a setting in the actual control board. If you type $$ into the gcode box on the 4th screen you can see all the settings on the screen. The setting $3={number}.

I seem to be having the same problem... It is in USB mode, and the cable is an Arduino one, so definitely not charging only. Yet, the buttons still don't work. I'm afraid my phone simply reads the CNC as an input, and so isn't able to send info. Tried to change the USB settings on the phone, but it doesn't allow it...
