Folks, what is the latest thinking about flash drive specs that are necessary for uploading a Onefinity job on a PC and downloading it to the black box controller? Thanks, Mark

Maso says to use a name brand drive and format it correctly. Here is how to do that . . .Start a command line running as Admin (in the search box, type command line)
A Command Prompt box appears, in that type the following
diskpart

list disk

(find your external disk number - will put example disk 2)

select disk 2

clean

convert mbr

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=fat32 quick

assign

exit

That will format the drive to work with Masso.

Yes, jn Buildbotics controller, sorry, should have made that clear. Also, I will need to transfer files in Vcarve Pro Version 12. What size flash drive?

Thanks, Jim, for bringing this up.

For Onefinity CNC job uploads, a flash drive with a capacity of 8GB or more should suffice, given that CNC files are typically not very large. It’s recommended to use a USB 3.0 drive for faster data transfer speeds. Ensure it’s formatted to FAT32, as this is usually compatible with most controllers. Reliable brands like SanDisk or Kingston might offer better longevity and performance. Also, regularly check for firmware updates for your Onefinity controller to ensure compatibility.
