- | === 1.Clean Copperclad PCB with steel wool or equivalent until shiny === | ||
- | //If you skip this step, you may damage a tool bit when probing.// | ||
- | |||
- | === 2. Clamp Copperclad PCB to waste board === | ||
- | //Want PCB to be held down "flat" and secure Double-backed tape works well for some.// | ||
- | |||
- | === 3. Mount First Drill bit in Router === | ||
- | |||
- | === 4. Roughly locate the Router/bit to starting location and turn on CNC machine power === | ||
- | |||
- | === 5. Start bCNC === | ||
- | - Connect to CNC via bCNC | ||
- | * Select File Menu | ||
- | * Select Serial Port | ||
- | * Click on Open | ||
- | * Select Control Menu | ||
- | * Click on Unlock | ||
- | - Prepare for Autoleveling | ||
- | * Select File Menu | ||
- | * Open gcode file for cutout routing - this will make it simple to setup the correct Autolevel area | ||
- | * Position bit to X and Y start location using Control widgets. | ||
- | * Select Probe Menu | ||
- | * Click on Probe Submenu | ||
- | * Zero out X and Y by Clicking on X=0 the Y=0 | ||
- | * Click on "fit to screen" button | ||
- | * Lower tool bit within a couple of mm of PCB using jog controls | ||
- | * Zero out Z by Clicking on Z=0 | ||
- | * In Probe menu, Probe section, Set the Z Pos: to -10 - this will allow the bit to go 10mm down to probe before setting off an alarm. | ||
- | * ATTACH PROBE CLIPS TO PCB AND TOOL BIT - FAILURE TO DO SO BEFORE PROCEEDING MAY RESULT IN A DAMAGED BIT. | ||
- | * Click Probe button (in Probe: section) | ||
- | * Zero out Z axis - Click on Z=0 | ||
- | * Raise Z by 1mm using jog | ||
- | - Autolevel | ||
- | * Under Probe Menu, Select Autolevel Submenu | ||
- | * Click on Margins - This will configure an autolevel area mapped to you gcode file limits | ||
- | * modify number of X/Y test points as needed by adjusting N for X and Y | ||
- | * set Z Min to -10 and Z Max to 0.5 - if you expect a large deviation in height across the board, set Z max to a higher value ( and perhaps consider leveling waste board and/or machine) | ||
- | * CONFIRM PROBE CLIPS TO PCB AND TOOL BIT - FAILURE TO DO SO BEFORE PROCEEDING MAY RESULT IN A DAMAGED BIT. | ||
- | * Click on Scan | ||
- | * Return to X/Y zero - in Command: (at bottom) enter G0 X0 Y0 | ||
- | * Return to Z zero - in Command: (at bottom) enter G0 Z0 | ||
- | * At top click at "Zero" in menu for Autolevel to adjust measured values (@vlachoudis: why this is required?) | ||
- | * REMOVE PROBE CONNECTION TO TOOL BIT. | ||
- | - Load first Drill gcode file | ||
- | * Under File menu select Open and select drill file | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Probe File modified" dialog | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Existing Autolevel" dialog | ||
- | * Optional - Select ISO view from "Change viewing Angle" widget. | ||
- | - Perform Drilling operation | ||
- | * Confirm that you've REMOVED THE PROBE CONNECTION TO THE TOOL BIT. | ||
- | * If manually controlling power to your router, turn it on now. | ||
- | * Select Control menu | ||
- | * Click on Start. | ||
- | * When drilling is complete, if manually controlling power to your router, turn it off. | ||
- | - Change Tool Bit - Do this every time you change a bit, whether it be a drill, routeing, or engraving bit. | ||
- | * Raise Z to comfortable height using jog controls. | ||
- | * Replace Tool bit | ||
- | * ATTACH PROBE CLIPS TO PCB AND TOOL BIT | ||
- | * Lower bit to within a couple of mm of PCB using jog controls. | ||
- | * Select Probe Menu | ||
- | * Select Probe Submenu | ||
- | * Zero out Z by Clicking Z=0 | ||
- | * Click on Probe button | ||
- | * Zero out Z by Clicking Z=0 | ||
- | * Raise Z by 1mm using jog controls. | ||
- | * REMOVE PROBE CONNECTION TO TOOL BIT. | ||
- | - If performing more Drilling operations, follow steps 10-12, with final Tool bit change being to the trace routing bit. | ||
- | - Load trace routing gcode file. | ||
- | * Under FIle menu select Open and select trace routing gcode file | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Probe File modified" dialog | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Existing Autolevel" dialog | ||
- | * Optional Select preferred viewing angle. | ||
- | - Change Tool Bit per step 11. | ||
- | - Perform Trace Routing operation | ||
- | * Confirm that you've REMOVED THE PROBE CONNECTION TO THE TOOL BIT. | ||
- | * If manually controlling power to your router, turn it on now. | ||
- | * Select Control menu | ||
- | * Click on Start. | ||
- | * When routing is complete, if manually controlling power to your router, turn it off. | ||
- | - Load Outline routing gcode file. | ||
- | * Under FIle menu select Open and select outline routing gcode file | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Probe File modified" dialog | ||
- | * Answer no to the "Existing Autolevel" dialog | ||
- | * Optional - Select preferred viewing angle. | ||
- | - Change Tool Bit per step 12. | ||
- | - Perform outline Routing operation | ||
- | * Confirm that you've REMOVED THE PROBE CONNECTION TO THE TOOL BIT. | ||
- | * If manually controlling power to your router, turn it on now. | ||
- | * Select Control menu | ||
- | * Click on Start. | ||
- | * When routing is complete, if manually controlling power to your router, turn it off. |
