I oversee and instruct the members in our Men’s Shed. We built an Ox-Gear CNC machine, and it is controlled by a Spark Concepts XPro V5. Does Gsender work with Trinamic Drivers, which the XPro uses?
Hello @Gerry_S and welcome to the group. I moved your post to the gSender Question category because the gSender devs check that category.
As far as your question goes, I’m unsure if gSender works with 32 bit GRBL or only 8 bit.
From what I can gather, it’s still running GRBL so should likely work, even if it doesn’t take advantage of the 32bit GRBL. Their website recommends CNCJs in USB mode, which is a good sign since gSender was originally based on it.
The general statement is “We only support GRBL running on Arduinos”, but if the controller is compatible with GRBL senders it should work.
I am trying to use this software with my cnc xprov5. the software do not connect to my cnc. It recognizes that I have two firmwares, but I cannot click on the arrow appearing in the drop down menu. It works with CNC3D Commander. I would like to use this sofware but I wonder it is only working with your machines… Is it possible to use it with CNC xPRO V5?
I’m not sure if gSender works with this processor but maybe the software guys can comment.
This is from the Makerstore site re this unit:
" The xPRO V5 comes fully assembled and programmed so all you need to do is wire up your motors, turn it on and start making!
From the computer side we have found that CNCjs Desktop is amazing and packed with great features! (open source / free download).
The xPRO V5 runs a port of the GRBL ESP32 firmware by Bart Dring, which is 32bit port of the GRBL by Sonny Jeon. As such, the xPRO V5 can be used with most current GRBL senders and post-processors."
[CNCjs] is computer savvy. I am lost with the console.
