Shapeoko Post Processor not listed

Post by River Lodge Carl »

My version of V-Carve Pro does not list the Shapeoko cnc as being available. What is the remedy before I spend the money to buy the unit?

They have GRBL post processors and pervious versions had a specific Shapeoko entry. I've modified "mm" versions I can share if you want them. They're easy to install and they work for me.

If you have a Bitsetter you can use the PP from NeilFerreri

Thanks, I notice the grbl.in and mm are listed in the drop down for the post processor. Is the a specific reason that the mm version is used?
I have been using mach3 with the current unit I have which is a homebuilt. I need to upgrade and the Shapeoko is within my budget. I just don't want to loose the money I invested in the Vectric program.

When I switched to VCP10 there was a post porseesor there for the shapeoko in both inches and MM
It does not support the bit changer.
They sent me 2 files that do one in inches and the other in MM
