You want to use the "Measure" tool (see menus, or "m" key). You should read the docs at www.cambam.info/doc/plus/ToolsMenu.htm

I found it, in the config folder, thanks.

You can really use any pin, that's the basic principle of Smoothie. Just choose which and set them in the config file.

It was about $2200. The maker was JLB in China, they didn't have a website.

I'm sorry, "a plate"? I'm not sure what you are asking.

@@ArthurWolf can you give me a board of this smoothierboard v1.1

@@ArthurWolf I tested one of a friend of mine and I loved it but I don't have the money to buy one of these very good ones

@@ArthurWolf SMOOTHIEBOARD v1.1

@@arthurheito3867 The components (in particular the microcontroller) for making those are not available currently due to the worldwide component shortage. Before that, we used to sell raw boards, but it's really not economical getting the components in single quantities, you're not going to save money that way (even if the componnents could be bought)

I think at the time (this is very old), I was just using a computer and Pronterface directly. I use Octoprint on a lot of machines, just not on that one/at that time.

What ??

Are you sure it's related to the version of Windows? Have you tried using another version of Windows, or the Linux version, and seen DXF work better under those circumpstances? That sounds odd, I really wouldn't expect Windows version to have any impact on DXF abilities. DXF formats and import/export incompatibility is an issue in a lot of software (not just Cambam), maybe that is what you are running into instead? Do you have a more specific example?

The only cutting tool I have for it is the one that came with it, same thing for the pen.

This is 1080p, which is pretty much standard for KZfaq... Are you maybe watching this on a phone? I tried lower resolutions but it felt very cramped/tight and not as easy to present things. If I do another video like this I'll try lowering a bit and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.

@@ArthurWolf I am watching in the computer in HD resoluton (1366x768). The letters are soooooooo small

It's run using mono, so if you can get mono running on mint, it shouldn't be an issue as long as you follow the intsructions on the cambam website

@@ArthurWolf Which one do I try?

@@jasondevault5066 Which of what? Just follow the instructions, it's worked for everybody I know have tried. www.cambam.info/ref/ref.linux

Trop merci! On avance sur v2, des news dans tres peu de temps.

@@ArthurWolf est-ce que je peux order le v2-pro?

@@ArthurWolf une autre question, est-ce possible d'utiliser un codeurs rotatifs avec chaque moteur?

@@Anonymousg64 En théorie dans le future avec du code supplémentaire. Pas pour le moment.

@@Anonymousg64 Pas encore non, quand le Kickstarter est expedié. Il y aura une update sur l'état actuel bientot.

It's a Chinese vinyl cutter, you can find those easily on aliexpress by searching for "vinyl cutter", they come in different sizes, but all use very basic stepper motors for control, and so are easy to control with the Smoothieboard out of the box.

On that test, I was using hand-written G-code, and the Smoothieboard's web interface ( smoothieware.org/network ) to run it. As things have gotten more serious with the machine, for 5 axis work Fusion360 is being used, and either bCNC or Smoopi ( sometimes both at the same time ) are being used to control the machine/run the Gcode.

Thanks for the reply, I built a 5 axis gantry style robot running smoothieware and have been using hand-written G-code run through CNCjs for the extra two axis. I'll give Fusion 360 a shot though I'm pretty novice in that area and I'll deferentially try out bCNC and smoopi. It's great to see a board and firmware that can do so much!

@@badzzzish Thanks for the support :) There are *lots* of videos about Fusion360 on KZfaq, so it's very easy to learn.

Oh, somebody told me that in a face to face conversation the other day, but I had a hard time getting what they meant. But now reading what you said and re-watching the video, I can definitely see it now, so thanks for that!

Working on the next prototype right now, we just finished the design and ordered the PCBs and parts, should assemble soon. It took a bit more time than expected to do the redesign, some unexpected issues showed up, but most of them are fixed now, and we hope the prototype will confirm the rest are too. That's for v2-prime. For v2-mini we had to delay the work a bit due to the v2-prime work, but it's now nearly finished. Once the prototypes are assembled and fully tested, we can move on to actual production and shipping.

@@ArthurWolf I'm updating a printer of mine and need a 24v main board should I wait?

@@tyrian869 v1 is still a very very good board, whether to wait really depends on how much in a hurry you are. We'll be a bit late on the initial Kickstarter timeline, but should starts selling boards as soon as the Kickstarter boards are all delivered.

Malheureusement, c'est beaucoup de travail pour seulement quelques pourcents des utilisateurs ( dont la plupart parlent également anglais de toute facon ). Si je faisais une autre langue je commencerai probablement par l'espagnol, mais encore une fois : beaucoup de travail, que je prefererai passer a coder/écrire de la documentation etc.

No advance, very busy with Smoothie v2. However for a customer I have to set up ATC on a very large 5 axis cnc mill ( not a router ) and that will force me to do progress on this. Should happen in the coming weeks. Thanks for the support :)

Oui oui.

@@ArthurWolf La broche est une 2.2KW ? Peux tu me dire si tu usines de l'alu avec? Et également ou est ce que tu l'as acheté, possible de me mettre le lien ? Merci d'avance Baptiste

Arg, it's the one they gave me. The one in the description works, right ?

@@ArthurWolf thanks for your reply! Im sure both links work. It ended up being my phone. KZfaq new update made it so my phone will not open any links from the descriptions.

@@What-is-thehandle Pfew, thanks for the update.

Hey. What's the "still" about, do you have some other supposed lie you want to talk about too? About the LPC1768, it was only used on the beta boards, very very few of which actually ended in the hands of folks not part of the dev team or the kickstarter, in part because the company that was supposed to sell them at the time went bankrupt. Smoothie has been developed with the 1769 in mind for over half a decade now, likely won't work perfectly on a 68, and the warning message is just meant to reflect that, not sure what the problem is here.

We are trying to keep the prices down with that board, the stepper drivers are a huge part of the price, unfortunately.

5 axis laser

Haven't used it much, I have 4 different models, this is just the first one I set up. One of them has 50:1 reduction and is likely to be the one most used by the final customer. 500 sounds like more than I paid though.

The hardware is ready, we even have one board that printed 100 hours this week. We are missing some work on the actual kickstarter campaign, it's very close to being ready, we hope we'll start it sometime next week We have been waiting for a very long time too, thanks for your patience. Don't hesitate to email [email protected] if you want to be put on the list to be warned as soon as the campaign starts.

@@ArthurWolf Fantastic news! Thank you, and good luck!!

@@SusiBiker Kickstarter a day or two away, email [email protected] if you want to be warned before everybody and get access to the early bird rewards.

J'en suis satisfait, mais le coté controle/generation du gcode est encore en phase proto, j'ai pas eu le temps de faire murir tout ca pour le moment. Je pense que ca vaut la peine quand meme de prendre une broche ATC.

@@ArthurWolf Merci pour ton retour rapide ;) Je vais y méditer ces 2 prochaines semaines avant de faire mes commandes car je n'ai pas du tout les connaissances necessaire pour :), il y a un autre francais sur youtube qui a fait le meme systeme que le tiens, je ne sais pas si tu le connais... voici sa video : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZruPjal_z9--YGQ.html

@@monseigneur_x Nice

Hey. I use FreeCAD and Fusion360 for designing, both put special efforts into being compatible with Smoothie and both integrate CAM directly which I find to be very convenient.

You may be able to find this in the Smoothie forums. However, make sure you don't re-use the config file as-is, instead, you need to use the found config file as a source for values. But you need to take the example config file ( and flash the latest firmware while you are at it ) from the wiki, and edit it to have the right values ( instead of using the found config file ). This is important as if you are just re-using a config file without understanding it's contents, you are putting yourself in danger. You need to read the documentation and do your config based on the example one on the wiki. If you don't you are taking a significant safety risk. Don't use Smoothie without understanding it's documentation.

What

Are you saying it's crap because it doesn't have a 4th/5th axis head ? I'm sorry I have a hard time understanding, if you could clarify.

the think that u did there is not safe. u are using a taper 30 holder without a key holding it only by pressure It may will spin inside the spindle .If the tapered washers inside the spindle brakes (it happens pretty often ) at 24000rpm ?

@@aldo6717 I don't understand what you mean "without a key holding it"

if u look at a cnc holder u will see 2 slots on the flange that will lock into the spindle to prevent spinning it.

V2-prime will be a bit more expensive than v1-4XC, v2-prime dual extrusion will be a bit less expensive than v1-5XC, v2-mini will be ( we hope ) around $70-80, and v2-pro will be well north of $200. That's the current estimates. Note v2 hardware will be beta at first kickstarter release, and the firmware will take a long time to mature to the level v1 is at after the kickstarter. I'd go with a v1 right now if this is a serious/work project, it's a very good board. Working on v2 kickstarter right now, hopefully starting in a week or two ( optimistically ). And yes there is a inch mode, it's very rarely used though, I could imagine there would be a bug with it nobody has noticed or something, but it's there ( and if you find a problem we'll fix it of course ).

Yeah I need to get rid of it in the long term. I think the main reason I have to do it is because things are not well aligned with each other, if I'm more careful and take more precise measurements, I should be able to set things up in a way where it doesn't get stuck. Thanks for the warning, I agree it's definitely bad long term.

The valves are the basic type you can find anywhere. For wiring and tube connections I'm planning on making a full documentation but don't know when I will. About the software, this uses Smoothieware and bCNC, not Mach. I plan on documenting that side too.

@@ArthurWolf a quick video would help understanding what i need need to do asim looking to implement asap
