Avec de la laine de verre ou un papier abrasif, genre 400.

Le PCB doit être maintenu bien à plat. Utilisez des brides. Le double face fonctionne aussi.

• Sélectionnez le menu Fichier
• Sélectionnez le port série
• Cliquez l'îcone Ouvrir
• Sélectionnez le menu Contrôle
• Cliquez le bouton Débloquer
• Positionnez la broche à peu près au point de départ lien Jog

• Sélectionnez le menu Fichier
• Charger le fichier gcode du contour de votre circuit, cela permettra de sélectionner simplement la zone à tester pour le Auto Level.
• Position bit to X and Y start location using Control widgets.
• Sélectionnez le menu Sonde
• Cliquez le sous-menu Sonde
• Mettez à zéro X et Y en cliquant sur X=0 et Y=0
• cliquez sur le bouton Afficher en entier“ ou (F) au clavier * Descendez le foretà quelques mm du PCB en utilisant les contrôles du jog * Mettez à zéro Z en cliquant sur 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 ==== 7. 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.
