Downloading a Toolpath to Controller over Ethernet

Connecting The Onefinity CNC To A Network (Buildbotics Controller)

Important points: Firmware 1.1 and beyond’s new network screen shows what wifi signals the controller is seeing. Select one, then input the password to connect. If it does not see your wifi it means your controller and router/extender are too far away (must be within 10ft and clear line of site). While other devices may connect, the onefinity controller has no antenna and may still be too far away to connect. The computer inside is a raspbery pi 3b. It has NO antenna. Then, it’s now inside…

Network direct cabling

If the controller is connected to the local network with an Ethernet cable, you should not need to worry about IP addresses. The controller makes itself available to devices on the local network at http://onefinity.local. If your browser is unable to see the controller at this URL and you are running Windows, you may need to install the Bonjour print service and reboot. You should then be able to see .local URLs.
