Shopbot 4g

Post by Phil »

I just upgraded the control board on my Shopbot to the 4g drivers. Should I continue to use the Shopbot arc inch post processor or should I now use the Alpha_control arcs inch post processor?

Yes... you're still using SB3 control, right?

The instructions for installing the 4g include the following step:

Download and install the latest version of the ShopBot Control Software from the website, or use the version on the included CD. You will now use the PRTalpha version.

This is why I am wondering if I should now use the Alpha post processor for VCarce.

All the SB controller read SBP file so you just keep on working the way you always did.
