Connecting to router

Post by jimmyg2000 »

Hello:
I am new to all of this stuff. I bought a Banggood CNC3-3018Pro from China. Good price but ZERO support. I have installed the trial version of VCarve desktop but have no idea on how to connect to the router. From what I understand this is a function of the post processor. I have no idea what or where that is. The router came with a link to Candle. It is supposed to be a GRBL machine. Any one have an idea on how I can get these two to talk to each other?
Thank you,
Jimmy

You would save your toolpaths using a GRBL post processor. This document may help explain the workflow: Introduction to CNC
