Every time I try to export a file from Vcarve to the controller, it does not recognize any file I try to send!! The controller will not read my thumb drive as well. Is there a way to reboot the controller back to factory settings? I just can’t figure out why nothing will work!! The only file I can use is the Onedinity sign that came with the machine. Help my sorry self out please!!!

are you sure you’re loading gcode (.nc/.ngc) files and not vectric design(.crv) files?

> This only applies to the buildbotics controller. If your going to use a usb stick to load your gcode files, make sure your usb stick is either partitioned in the NTSF or FAT32 format. Using any other file type may not show files on the controller. USB sticks must be 2.0. USB 3.0 sticks may not be detected. Some USB sticks larger than 32GB may not work with the raspberry pi.

Once you have completed your design in the drawing tab, you then go to the toolpaths tab to create the necessary toolpaths (profile/pocket/vcarve etc.) for your design. Preview the toolpaths you have created then if OK, generate each toolpath in a separate file (if you are using different bits) and save them to your USB thumb drive and transfer to the Onefinity Controller. They will appear with a filename followed by .ngc extension.

@SteveyT As a thought, have you loaded the post processor for the OneFinity in your VCarve Pro software? I recall when I first started using VCarve, I was not using the right post processor.
