I am using Easel to create a G Code for DDCS Ver 3.1 (xyza)
I was told by Inventables that I can't use Easel to connect directly with DDCS Ver 3.1 and suggested using universal G-code sender to download my G-Code.
Can I connect G-Code sender directly To The DDCS Ver 3.1 controller? If so What connection do I use? (USB, Serial?)
What machine do I use in the set-up for this UGS, and for that matter Easel? Grbl I'm told is not compatible with DDCS Ver 3.1

With Covid the suppliers in South Africa are unable to travel so I have been left to install and set up the router on my own.
I can't get a G-Code to work correctly, it turns the spindle on lifts Z-axis then X-axis moves and will fall off the rails if I don't stop it.
Also, the router is 1.5 x 3m and has no hard limit switches.
I have tried to set up soft limit switches, but they don't respond.
Can anyone help me, please??
All I want to do is cut out 3 mm plexiglass letters for signage, don't mind if I use a Flash to transport the G-code as long as it works with the DDCS Ver 3.1 controller.

hey have had the same problem, this usually happens when you send your code with any post processor that gives a file extension of  .nc instead of  .gc, am usually fusion 360, and nearly all post processors on it doesn't have  .gc files extensions except for myDIYCNC processor and flexiCAM processor that i had installed. if you use the above two processors the controller works fine minus few hiccups...am on this forum to find any help on turning post-processor for fusion 360 that can support ddcs v3.1,seems to have none at all on all fusion libraries....or any help on how to convert an  .nc file to  .gc

Thanks for your help, managed to set up my soft limits seem to be working.
I have used Easel, worked but have only sent a couple of files, so we'll see.
