In my case, it’s fine as the Vectric Tool Database I have both imperial and metric. Simply said, I’m using both without any challenges.
Hi, Does anyone know why I’m getting this error after copying/pasting the PP.
Var =
Unknown variable name specified
On line 42 of file
VAR POWER = [P|C|S|1.0|10.0]
Aspire 8.505 onefinity post processor
The post processor isn’t compatible with older versions of Vectric software.
So what is the best post processor to use in aspire GBRL or something else since there is no onefinity?
I don’t know what the other options are, but the generic GRBL post processor should work, as BB is based off a GRBL derivative.
Ok thanks for the clarification
Does anyone know the difference between the jet and no jet file?
The jet file was for older carved software I believe but not sure on that maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in sorry not much help
I have an older version of Aspire and I get errors when I load the jet file but no errors with the no jet file. Just wondering if some major differences in the files and if I should consider upgrading software.
Hello, I am new to the Onefinity family. My question is:
I have been using a CNC router at a local community Woodshop. All of my files are made in Aspire. I do not have Aspire software at home but want use the files I have already created at Woodshop without having to re-create them all. All my files are saved an external hard drive. I have the files saved on the ext hard drive but I do not have Aspire software at home. How can I use these saved Aspire files on my new woodworker at home?
Vetric has a program for workshops like that. It is my understanding is that that organization is the only one who can process the file to gcode to run. The program you used was a trial version which does not allow you to function. Ck with vetrix. You may have to buy vcarve.
Hello Stephen,
Is this reply in response to my previous post. Just trying to be sure. Are you stating that I can process the gcode from the Woodshop computer onto my Aspire files there and then save the code converted files to my external hard drive to use at home on my machine if the Aspire program at the Woodshop is not a trial version? Please provide a bit more clarity. I am total newbie, learning as I go. 
Thanks.
Probably not. I am in a similar situation. I have Vcarve Pro that I bought with my Onefinity. I want to use it in the workshop and think that each person buying the program at about $600 each is not going to happen. I tried to to get qualified with Vertrc for a educational institution but that even if it happened for require our workshop to own the computers which would still be too expensive. So we are going for a program they have called Makerspace. let me share with a portion of the email conversations I have had with them:
A viable solution at just $99 per year would be the VCarve Pro MakerSpace License - Makerspace Sign Up | Vectric.
This product enables flexibility for all members to use our trial software in the classroom or remote location but come together in the ‘MakeSpace’ to output GCode and complete their projects.
I can not specifically talk with knowledge about the files you have on your computer know. But I suspect that you will have to by the program to out put the Gcode to a machine to execute. I created a file in the trial version and brought it into my purchased version and expect to execute it as soon as i get my machine. Please contact

I’m sure he will give you more answers than me
Usually there is pp file for the spindler and one for the laser.
Is it correct? In case where do we find the laser toolpath pp?
thanks in advance
best regards

The J Tech Laser .pp is on the J Tech website. Below is the link to the page for the .pp files. Just scroll down to the Onefinity section and download the one you wish.
When I get the Oneinfinity to show up in the V-Carve drop down box, am I good to go
I’m a bit confused on why the PP has the msg commands embedded in the header and omits the m6 in front of the T command. For consistency across products, I’d think you would make the header more “normal” by having the missing m6 and remove extra msgs and then you’d define the logic on the controller itself in the program-start and tool-change blocks in the web interface
This PP as written doesn’t fit well with the extensible controller interface you have. If users modify their controller code blocks, this PP puts out too much stuff, and omits the initial m6. I posted bitsetter like code on the Facebook onefinity group, but with the m6 dropped, it works differently than jobs created by other products using grbl output where a custom PP is not in place.
You’ve made the controller more flexible, and I think this is likely a clean up item that may have been missed. The header and tool sections here, are obsolete based on current gen firmware capabilities.
