Very Newbie question about G-code compilers

[ynot (Tony Aldridge)]

Been using Easel pro on my 30-40 machine and Easel has a built in compiler to turn g-code into machine language. Last night installed my new X50 into Easel & got the memo that Easel will not control the 1F, does the 1F come with a built in compiler or do I have to install UGS or equal. Stopping for a cuppa Tea then will go up and connect the wires, pretty exciting stuff for this old guy.

Creating a file in Inventables Easel

It’s a bit confusing to Onefinity users that use Easel as the CAD program. Onefinity has a ‘smart’ controller. You will NEVER directly connect your computer to the Onefinity controller or need to download any ‘drivers’. Inventables has a ‘dumb’ controller that REQUIRES the computer/easel to be connected to their controller at all times. This requires ‘drivers’ to be downloaded for xcarve users. Onefinity users should NEVER download the drivers as you will not use them. It’s a bit confusing,…

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I figured I would discover that, after me tea, plan on using Easel probably til miid summer then switching up. So when Easel tells me to export the file, I just send it to 1F directly correct?
