USE:
Every control box is tested prior to shipment. Based on your machine some changes may be required
prior to use.
E-stopping the box kills power to the motors, but does not remove power to the program. In the event
of an issue, one should be able to retain the current program and restart after homing.
There are two 110VAC outlets on the front of the box, next to the AC power in. The upper plug is a fused
direct 110VAC plug, do not plug anything over 5A into this outlet. The lower plug is controlled by M8
commands. Typing M8 in a program will deliver 110VAC to this plug, typing M9 will remove power to
this plug.
Settings may need to be modified prior to use. When plugged in the monitor will display a logo while
boot up is taking place. Once this splash screen is complete the system will open to
bCNC
and connect
automatically.
THE MACHINE MUST BE HOMED PRIOR TO JOGGING
There is a home button on the control tab at the upper left-hand corner. Click home.
You should expect the Z axis to go up, touch the limit switch, go down, then come back up. After this
action X and Y should both start moving towards the limit switches.
If the machine does not move in the correct direction. Click the unlock and reset button in the upper
left-hand corner of the file tab. This will stop all motion.
Go to the upper right-hand corner and find the terminal tab.
Click on this.
A serial port message box will be on the left-hand side of the screen with an area to type in at the
bottom.
Type $$
These are your
GRBL Settings
you will need to invert the Z if it went the opposite direction. This is done
by typing $3= (some number that corresponds below)
