G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Chinese breakout board BSMCEO4U-PP

« on: September 09, 2020, 01:31:52 PM »

I am new to CNC.

I had a Bobs CNC for several months, I learned a great deal about designs and running jobs on the CNC.

I have made a lot of items on my old CNC, but wanted to get into carving 3D items instead of making signs and plaques.

The Bobs CNC's gantry was not stiff enough to go through hardwoods, it would jump and miss cuts.

So, I recently purchased an aluminum Chines CNCEST 6090 with a stiff gantry.

I use Vcarve Pro as my CAD software.

I have windows 7pro 32 bit

Chinese breakout board:  BSMCEO4U-PP

I have configured Mach3 ports and pins, and motor tuning according to the manufacturer's instructions.

I am having a very hard time getting anything to run correctly?

I can jog around, set material "0", and load the Gcode.

When I hit start cycle, it barely moves.

I have tried several different Post Processors through Vcarve Pro.

Gcode inch
Grbl inch
NC Studio ATC inch *nc
NC Studio CC ATC inch *nc
NC  Studio ATC ARCS mm
Mach 2/3 Arcs inch

Can anyone tell me which post processor is best suited for this board?

Any advise or helpful tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated.

I really need help with this.
