All boards made for Estlcam (official or not) use the Estlcam pinout. Either pinout can be used if the board terminals have processor pin labels, e.g. The Estlcam and GRBL pinouts define which processor pins are used for what signals, e.g. All compatible hardware is built around an ATmega microprocessor. The first thing to do is select the appropriate hardware. If Estlcam was chosen earlier, the board needs to be configured and programmed. Material top is almost always the easiestĪt clearance plane allows the spindle to skip the origin and go directly to the cut startīoth Start and End can be customized using Setup : CNC Programs : Texts High enough to clear all clamping devicesĬonventional unless it's a pretty darn stiff and tight machine The Estlcam length and feed units need to match the G-code (generated by Estlcam or other) being machined. The CNC Program length and feed units need to match what the motion controller (Estlcam or other) is expecting.

change Estlcam units temporarily so that you can machine inch (G20) G-code on a normally metric machine. The settings can be changed on the fly to import (Open) or export (Save CNC program) G-code in different units, e.g. The 'Ask each time' import units option is the most flexible ( SVG, DXF and STL)īoth CNC Program (Estlcam generated G-code) and Estlcam (everything else) units are typically set to millimeters or inches and per minute. A few of the options will be controller specific and the choices here will affect the CNC Program (CAM and control) and (Estlcam installed on the) CNC Controller settings. Start by clicking the appropriate motion controller. The G-code that the Estlcam CAM program generates needs to be compatible with the motion control software (to be) installed on the controller board (Estlcam, GRBL, or other).
