Hey everyone,
does anyone know if there is a possibility to control the SKR Pro 1.2 with Estlcam via the USB data port of the board? I was able to access and control my MPCNC via Pronterface but not with Estlcam.
I am not able to get the connection done between the software and the board.
On the other side, if there is a compatiblity issue could you recommend me an easy to use CAM software.
Best regards,
Niklas
ESTLCam uses a proprietary firmware that it loads to the board. It only works with ATmega328p boards like arduino UNO, NANO, etc, and ATmega2560 boards, like Arduino Mega 2560, etc, and also some custom boards with ESTLCams specific pinout. It doesn’t work with any 32-bit boards. Here’s a pic from ESTLCam with the supported boards.
Now all of that aside, you can use ESTLCam to create your toolpaths, then export the Gcode and push it to your board using Pronterface, or Repetier Host, which is recommended by V1E.
Most folks here use Estlcam to generate the gcode, then move it to the machine using another method like SD card or a gcode sending program like CNCjs (part of the V1pi Raspberry Pi image), Repetier Host (not Server), or Universal GCode Sender.
Thank you guys, that helps me a lot!
