Elite Redline Status Update – November 4, 2025
The first batch of Elite Redline promo machines have shipped**.
Once those are complete, production will switch over to building the Rotary units, followed by ATC systems.
Our factory builds in dedicated groups for efficiency — so while all of the base promo machines have been assembled, the Rotary and ATC units are next in line.
Remember: part of the understanding of joining the Early Adopter Promo was that not everything would be 100% finalized yet. There may be a few small bugs or bumps along the way — but Onefinity and Redline are working closely together to polish this new ecosystem with the help of our very first users — you, the Early Adopters!
ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)
When the promo launched, the listing stated:
ATC support will come in future free firmware.
First off, all firmware will be free, for life.
That firmware is now in internal beta testing. ATC support is not yet enabled (or visible) in the public firmware that ships with your controller.
There’s also a small DB25 adapter that connects to the serial port on the motion controller. This adapter didn’t make it into the very first batch of units, but it will be included in all future shipments. If you didn’t receive one, you don’t need to contact us — it will be sent to you automatically once ready (expected within the next few weeks).
This adapter will include:
- A port for the Easy ATC by RapidChange ATC (Redline)
- Two load switches (for connection to an IOT relay — used to automatically control devices like a vacuum or air assist)
- A power supply for the adapter itself
This DB25 adapter will be free and included with all Redline controllers.
Firmware release:
Redline expects to have the public ATC firmware ready before year’s end after final testing and validation.
Rotary
The Onefinity 4th Axis Rotary — “The Revolution” (Elite + Redline) is fully integrated and works right out of the box. 
Tool Setter
The Eazy-Z Tool Setter (Elite Series Only) support is fully integrated and works right out of the box.
3 Axis XYZ Touch Probe
The Onefinity 3-Axis XYZ Touch Probe support is fully integrated and works right out of the box.
Redline Spindle
Redline Spindles are fully supported and work right out of the box.
Jtech Laser
Jtech Lasers are fully integrated and work right out of the box.
Joypad for Jogging
Joypad Controllers are partially integrated and work right out of the box.
While the joypad does work, it currently needs to be in “XBOX mode.”
We’ve found that unplugging and re-plugging the joypad dongle until “XBOX” mode registers (under the Joypad tab) enables movement controls.
This system will be refined in a future firmware update.
Networking (Wi-Fi & Ethernet)
The Redline Controller can connect to your network using either a wired Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi.
A wired Ethernet connection (using the LAN port on the back of the controller) is always the most stable and recommended option.
However, the internal Wi-Fi module allows convenient wireless access when running a network cable isn’t practical.
Because the built-in Wi-Fi chip uses a small internal antenna, best performance is achieved when the controller is located in the same room as your wireless router.
For users who need extended range or stronger signal, Redline has enabled support for external USB Wi-Fi adapters.
Supported External Wi-Fi Adapters
There are currently two external adapters that work right out of the box — these are the only officially supported models at this time:
- Best (Recommended): TP-Link AC600 USB Wi-Fi Adapter
- Good: TP-Link Nano AC600 USB Wi-Fi Adapter
How to Enable an External Wi-Fi Adapter
- Power off the controller.
- Plug in the external USB Wi-Fi adapter.
The adapter must be plugged in before powering on the controller.
- Power on the controller.
- Once fully booted, tap the ☰ (hamburger menu) in the top-right corner.
- Select “Config.”
- Under the Config menu, open the “Network” tab.
- You’ll see both options listed — Internal (default) and External.
- Check the box next to External to enable the USB Wi-Fi adapter.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap “Scan.”
- Select your preferred Wi-Fi network and tap “Connect.”
- Wait patiently — there is currently no progress indicator while connecting.
- Once connected, you’ll see “Success” at the top with your assigned IP address.
- If it doesn’t connect, tap “Test” to retry.
- In rare cases where it still doesn’t appear connected, proceed to step 12.
- Reboot the system (use full “Reboot,” not “Restart”) to make the change permanent.
- Success! The external Wi-Fi adapter is now enabled and will remain the default connection method going forward.
VFD Showing ERR 14 (Error 14) When Not Powered On
Redline made a configuration change in the VFD that allows it to properly respond to E-Stop and power loss — ensuring the spindle safely stops spinning in those events.
Because of this update, the VFD will now display “Error 14” whenever the machine/controller is powered off, estopped, or restarted.
This behavior is completely normal and expected.
How to Clear ERR 14
To clear the error and ready the spindle for use:
- Press the red STOP (Reset) button on the DRO.
- The VFD will exit the “Error 14” state and begin flashing numbers, indicating it’s ready to operate normally.
Post Processors
Post processors have been submitted to both Carveco and Vectric for inclusion in future software updates.
