    PathPilot Hub

    I am trying out the HUB in PP and I havent figured out how to get one of my files uploaded to it.

    I do not use Fusion 360, I use sprutcam and I would like to upload one of my files to the hub to check out what it does and how it works etc., I cant figure out how to upload a file to it from my windows computer that I use for cad/cam.

    any help or insight would be appreciated!
    thanks

    Login at https://hub.pathpilot.com/login?next=%2F
    Click on "Create Virtual Pathpilot Controller"
    Browse for a file and press "Upload"
    Click on "Enter Pathpilot"
    Choose your machine
    When the PP screen appears click on "File" tab
    If you do not see your file click on "Refresh" (the circular arrow thingey)
    Highlight the file and click on "Copy"
    Load your gcode as usual.

    You can go back to the original browser window and upload additional files. Remember to press "Refresh" after each upload.

    Thank you sir!

    I did finally figure it out, i cant get the file to run yet though, exceeds the Xaxis limit, I need to figure out how to set center of the part without using the probe, other than that I think it will run OK.

    Home PP and set the X/Y/Z coordinates to an appropriate location using the coordinate display/input boxes. It is just like a real machine!

    I did set the coordinates but not close enough I guess, the part is as long as the table almost, the fixture is marked off for the vise so I am close enough, then probe to get my zeros. I just didnt have much time to devote to it today (65*f) spent most of the day grinding up leaves and burning sticks.

    You can enlarge the work area slightly with the ADMIN SET_X_LIMIT and ADMIN SET_Y_LIMIT commands.

    Hello, my name is Rocky Weber an I am a senior engineering student in high school in Ohio. For my capstone project, I am planning to convert a 3d printer in a desktop router. If you have time to take a quick, easy 10 question survey I would greatly appreciate it.
