This is an inobvious feature which has undergone a change in recent versions — it now allows sending a file from one computer running Carbide Create to Carbide Motion running on a different computer over the network (it also works on the same computer using the 127.0.0.1 loopback)
Testing with Carbide Create 520 and Carbide Motion 536. Note that it is necessary when installing/running Carbide Motion to grant it network access.
First, in Carbide Motion enable the “Allow Remote Access” option under Settings:
Okay cool I got the file transfer working now, but like you mentioned, they are incomplete transfers where the machine only cuts the first inch or so then it stops.
I have the same thing going on. The fie transferred thru CC is incomplete, doesn’t even show the tool chance, where as the saved and loaded file is all there.
I’ve also experienced an incomplete transfer. It was a very detailed job with 120,000 lines and didn’t spot it until I tried a second time and it truncated at a different position. Both transfers got truncated at around 500-600 lines.
The final lines themselves must have been corrupt too as the tool just suddenly ploughed sideways until it hit the limit switch. This has damaged the cutting edge of my 1 week old bundled #102
I suppose there is no fix for this yet? I just got my Shapeoko 4 up and running connected to a raspberry pi 4. Was able to send a file to the machine. Carbide Create shows over an hour estimated for the job. Carbide Motion on the pi shows less than 2 minutes.
Resurrecting this thread as I could not find another with similar conditions.
Sending from Mac Carbide Create to PC Carbide Motion (latest versions as of Sep 23 2023)
Consistently truncating the gcode at 973 bytes, whereas on Carbide Create I can save gcode (pro version) and consistently 18k, which works if I load that via filesystem into Carbide Motion.
