Hi All, Went out to the C3D shop in California this week to do some R&D and hang out with the rest of the crew. Plus, it's very cold in IL right now, so if nothing else - seeing the sun was a nice change of pace! Anyway - we had some fun yesterday using Carbide Create to design a vacuum table we've ...

Sorry for not getting to this quicker - there is no need to re-flash anything!

On the IoT supply, tie the green terminals into the PWM pin and the GND pin.

To turn the relay on, issue a M3S10000 command
To turn the relay off, issue a M5 command

I have one of these too! @Will - The surge protector shown has a relay built in. The device gives you an easy way to control your spindle (or any AC powered device) via gcode - WITHOUT you having to mess with AC wires / voltage. On the side of the surge protector there are two screw terminals (green...

We've been talking about this a lot internally, but it's something I want to share with the community as a whole: When some of our customers have an issue with their machine, instead of turning to support, they blaze their own trail and devise their own solutions. We feel like there's a misconceptio...

Let's mark this as the official answer to this thread: For *anyone* having a disconnect issue as described in this thread PLEASE contact support (support@carbide3d.com) with a subject line of 'S3 DISCONNECTS'. From the data we have collected, to date, this problem is effecting a very small percenta...

One side of the v alternates thick to thin and is shifting the Z axis assembly. Now to order a few spares.

What sort of computer are you using? mac, pc, linux?

Also be sure you're selecting 115200 as the baud rate.

Thanks

Hi All - Just wanted to clear a couple of things up on the S3 - Sparkfun Edition This is a joint project that's been in the works since early this year - Sparkfun wanted to get into CNC and we were really excited to be a part of that. We decided to make them special Shapeoko mechanical kits painted ...

Just to make sure we're talking apples to apples here - the spec you need to look at is the max voltage for your stepper *driver* not the stepper motors. The stepper driver will take care of managing the voltage/current to the stepper motors. The specs for the G540 4 axis driver claim to be good all...
