Ok, so looking for some advice on is it possible to network a S3XXL. I’m getting ready to replace my laptop that runs the unit and does anyone know if it is possible to connect it to a network. Either wired or wireless.
Any thoughts?
Short answer - No.
Long answer - The controller relies on a USB connection to a computer running Carbide Motion. There are a few things you could do with a raspberry pi that would allow you to control it from another computer. There also might be some USB over ethernet devices that may or may not work. I would never trust them for this application though. Realistically, you should always be controlling your CNC from a computer next to the machine for safety reasons.
