I’ve downloaded a file from millmage to my sd card using the download gcode button but when I put the sd card in the low rider it does not have the ‘play’ button next to file like when I download a file from estlcam. If I click on the file it tries to download it to my tablet. I’m sure it’s something easy I’m. Missing but I’m stumped.
Did you make sure it has .gcode as the file extension?
Thanks, I did not but I will check that.
So I go to cnc tools > device settings > custom gcode > then right hand column and save file extension and enter gcode?
Does save to a single file need to be turned on?
That still doesn’t give me a ‘play’ button and wants to download to tablet still
Do you use a Jackpot controller (FluidNC)? If so, make sure you choose GRBL as the g-code flavor.
Yes I have the jp3 and using fluid NC with my tablet. Yes it’s set to grbl. Would there be something checked off so that it thinks I’m using millmage to run it ( which I’m not )?
No, the UI should run it if it has the correct extension and it can load it. Can you post a screenshot of the UI?
You need to add the “.nc” file extension. I believe “.gcode” also works.
Need a file extension that tells FluidNC and WebUI that it is a gcode file.
I’ve always used gcode file extension without issue. The 2nd file in that list doesn’t look like it has an extension and is most likely the issue.
Same, MM doesn’t naturally write the extension that Fluidic likes, have to retype .gcode for it play nice.
You can tell it to write to correct “.gcode” at the end. Works perfectly every time I use MillMage. I’ve never had an issue with running any files that are generated.
You should use the FluidNC GCode flavor in the Device Settings instead, but that’s not the problem here.
You can change the exported file ending in “Edit > Device Settings, Custom GCode” here:
