Sending code to remote machine

Post by bferster »

I draw vectors on one pc and send them to a cnc on another. Is there an easy way to transfer these over the web rather than using a memory stick?

Another option is iCloud Drive which works great. I use Mac (with Parallels) for design and gSender running native on the Mac to drive the machine

My machine and controlling computer is in my garage. I just setup a home network and shortcut buttons on each computer's desktop to connect.

Yep, me too!

I use dropbox as it's on both machines anyway for other reasons and it's smart enough to know when two machines are on the same network so transfers that way when needed.

I too use Dropbox to hold the code, I am sending it to a machine 50 miles away operative loads stone onto bed shows machine where code is presses start and walks away, I can view it while cutting via camera any problems I can contact yard.
Only had two problems in ten year one stepper went down broken wire, and bearings went down in spindle.

I have a NAS on my home network. I put all my CNC stuff in a shared folder on the NAS.
