GETTING STARTED Simple Start Up Procedure: Start computer Ÿ Launch LinuxCNC from icon on desktop Ÿ Turn power on Unity Controller Ÿ Verify red E-Stop indicator follows physical e-stop Ÿ Click orange Machine Power button Ÿ Click the Home All button Ÿ... - Page 16 CAM SOFTWARE You can use any CAM software to generate g-code for LinuxCNC. Most CAM software programs will have appropriate post processors named either LinuxCNC or EMC2. You can use generic g-code post processors as well. We also have post processors on our wiki specifically for our machines.
- Page 17 The most efficient way to manage this is to create seperate post processor for each tolerance level you want to use. Do not confuse G64 Path Optimization with the G54 Coordinate System More information about this and other topics can be found on the wiki: http://www.probotix.com/wiki/...

Page 18: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Daily Use: Put a couple of drops of 3-in-1 oil on each of the six linear rails before homing the machine each day. This will allow a tiny amount of oil to be sucked up into the bearing housings before cutting any parts. Use the included linear motion grease on the leadscrews. - Page 19 LINUXCNC KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ESCAPE E-STOP TOGGLE E-STOP TOGGLE MACHINE POWER MANUAL MODE AUTO MODE MDI MODE RESET INTERPRETER TOGGLE MIST TOGGLE FLOOD TOGGLE SPINDLE FORWARD TOGGLE SPINDLE REVERSE DECREASE SPINDLE SPEED INCREASE SPINDLE SPEED SELECT X-AXIS SELECT Y-AXIS SELECT Z-AXIS LEFT/RIGHT ARROW JOG X-AXIS UP/DOWN ARROW...
