Hi all,
First program I want to run in CNCJS was a levelling / surfacing program…
Original .nc file was created in Carbide Create Pro 472. You can see the original Carbide Create file and gcode file here.
First few lines are as follows -
(Design File: /Users/michaelnewham/Google Drive (1)/1 FabLab_&_Hacker_Resources/1. Equipment/2. CNC_Machine - Shapoko, Files, Etc./Gcode Cut Files/Wasteboard_Levelling.c2d)

CNCJS is set-up, homing was done, work position was zeroed - then I pressed play on CNCJS. You can see from the pic below there was no response in the console. (I can manually, input code into the console and it works fine. I can start spindle remotely etc…)
Not too sure what I have to do as the program does not run. Is there another button to press? I did try ‘Cycle Start’ but nothing there either…
Files tried were .nc and the .gcode copy / equivalent. I had the files uploaded from the ‘watch folder’ sitting on the Raspberry Pi which CNCJS is installed on.
Any ideas to get this working?
Cheers, Michael
