I would suggest the metric one instead, but that should work — write out G-code as a .nc or .gcode file and send that to Carbide Motion — if it doesn’t work, upload here, or to Dropbox and post the link and we will look into it with you.
Select the one which matches the machine (though really, “Shapeoko” should be all that’s needed, and further customization could be for whether or no there is a BitSetter.
I relaoded both programs CM and Vcarve. I have tried all the machine types for Carbide Motion listed in vCarve along with the post processors they list. … still crashing CM when opening a vCrave file.
I don’t know what else to try … I really need your help on this.
I did look at it. Was not that helpful to be honest. I just tried to run an older Carbide Create file that worked 2 weeks ago … it crashed CM as soon as it started to load. Bugsplat file send, many of them.
If even “Hello World” won’t work, then the problem is likely with some recent software update or something else at your end.
I’m going to delete that image from your post since it has your e-mail address in it.
Please try the standard computer-troubleshooting things:
reboot
check for updates
shutdown
verify no updates are pending
then try again
I am going to make a very simple pair of files for you to test with once that is done — if they still crash, then we’ll know there’s something up on your computer.
I will try that post processor on my Shapeoko Pro 5 and see if it works.
Did you see if it will import/open in Carbide Motion without crashing it? That is the issue I am having.
William,
I did all you stated, reboot, updates, redownload programs, etc. I opened CM and opened the drill test files and it crashed CM.
I will try a different PP like Chue used.
One thing is I am sending the file from one office computer to a laptop in the shop over Wi-Fi. Its been working great until now.
What else can I check ???
Thank you the help guys, I am still at a loss. Got to be something simple.
