| - | ===== PCB 101 First time ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 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 ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 6. Connect to CNC via bCNC ==== | ||
| - | * Select File Menu | ||
| - | * Select Serial Port | ||
| - | * Click on Open | ||
| - | * Select Control Menu | ||
| - | * Click on Unlock | ||
| - | ==== 7. 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 | ||
| - | ==== 8. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 9. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 10. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 11. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 12. If performing more Drilling operations, follow steps 10-12, with final Tool bit change being to the trace routing bit ==== | ||
| - | ==== 13. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 14. Change Tool Bit per step 11 ==== | ||
| - | ==== 15. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 16. 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. | ||
| - | ==== 17. Change Tool Bit per step 12 ==== | ||
| - | ==== 18. 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. | ||
