New here so still learnIng, bare with me. I’ve got my woodworker all set up and wanted to do some basic testing. I’ve create several test files in carbide create However, when I open Carbide motion on my Mac, it does not see the cutter. I’ve confirmed carbide motion is up to date, but still no joy. I’m able to jog the machine with the touch pad or Mac so that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I’ve also followed several videos and it seems like everything is correct until I get to this point. Hope this is just a user issue as I’m not tech savvy. Any help would be appreciated.

You don’t need to use Carbide Motion to send your g code to the Onefinity, it has it’s own g-code processor. Simply take the g code file you generated in Carbide Create and load it on the controller by using a usb flash drive or if you have the controller on the network you can use a web browser to load the file.

Thank you, Figured it was most likely a user error. I’ll give that a try in the morning.
