2.0.1 Fan Mount Assembly A. Attach the Dual-30mm-24V-DC-Fan to the CNC-xPro-Fan-Mount using 8 x M3-Cap- Head-20mm bolts and 8 x M3-Nyloc-Nuts. Ensure that the Dual-30mm-24V-DC-Fans are blowing downwards by ensuring that the side of the fan with the label on is against the CNC-xPro-Fan-Mount.
2.0.2 Attaching The CNC-xPro A. If you have purchased the bluetooth adaptor, now would be a good time to attach it to the CNC-xPro following the instructions on the pamphlet inside the bluetooth packet. B. Insert 4 x M4-Cap-Head-40mm bolts through the previously assembled CNC-xPro- Fan-Mount, and then through the CNC-xPro and each through a Nylon-Spacer-Quar- ter-Inch.

A. Insert 4 x M5-Low-Profile-50mm bolts through each mounting hole on the CNC-xPro- Mount. B. On to each M5-Low-Profile-50mm bolt slide an Aluminium-Onehalf-Inch and a Slot- Washer. The rounded face of the Slot-Washer should be flush against the Aluminium- Onehalf-Inch. C.
3.1 CNC-xPro Wiring A. Following the wiring diagram above, strip and connect the second PSU-Output-Power- Cable to the power input terminal on the CNC-xPro. If you have the bluetooth adaptor also attach the provided capacitor, with the correct orientation with regards to the positive and negative side.
3.2 Software & Machine Settings 3.2.1 Installing Universal G-Code Sender (UGS) A. Universal G-Code Sender (UGS) is a simple Java-based cross platform G-Code sender. It requires the latest version of Java to be installed on your computer from https:// java.com/en/download/ . Download UGS from the first Classic GUI link under the ‘Nightly Builds’...
3.2.2 Configuring The Firmware A. Under the large white console output, there is a text input area labeled ‘Command:’ where G-Code commands can be sent to the CNC-xPro. To bring up the current firm- ware settings type ‘$$’ and press enter. B.
3.3 Testing A. Next to each driver on the CNC-xPro, there is a current control pot, and these can be adjusted using the Ceramic-Screwdriver. Rotate clockwise to increase the current, and anti-clockwise to decrease. Turn each one clockwise until it stops, and then back 1/4 of a full turn.

3.4 Wire Tidying A. Once the machine is operating correctly, using a Cable-Tie-Large secure the wires in Section 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 to the V-Slot-2040-750mm at the position shown by the right hand rectangle above. One at a time, the wires can be disconnected from the CNC- xPro and trimmed to the correct length.

Sometimes the $$ settings can change value, this usually happens if the machine is moved around by hand. Re-check all $$ values to make sure they are set correctly. Problem - Can’t connect to CNC xPro/GRBL is not loading. First try another USB Cable. Then try another computer. The last thing to try is resetting the firmware on the controller.
