Has anyone install a Rapid Change ATC with the SLB EXT on the 48X48 Altmill? I downloaded the setting from the ATC to a SD card and installed it in my SLB EXT . I don’t think Gsender is readig the card on the SLB. I contacted Sienci and I was told that
At this time SD cards are not supported by the SLB or SLB-EXT I find that hard to believe. Is there a Gsender command to check the SD card.
Thank You All

Hi Tony,
Not sure what is not to believe when sienci says something isnt supported yet. It’s their software.
There was a topic on development on the edge side of things going into atc and sd card stuff that you might find i teresting to read.
I believe there to be a unofficial release of gsender or edge with sd card support, but I am not looking i to that myself for I am happy with what I ha e in gsender 1.2.2.
Maybe a search in the topic finder can bring that up for you. Like this:
I believe grblHAL is built with SD support for the SLB (and I assume SLB-ext); this sort of thing is more up to grblHAL than Sienci assuming the basic hardware support has been validated.
If you check the grblHAL docs you should be able to figure out how to determine if it can read and execute files from the SD. The following commands should be roughly correct but I haven’t validated them
# check that the SD plugin was compiled into your firmware build
$I
[MSG:Plugins: Core, Probing, SD Card, Spindle]
# check SD active
$36
# list files
M20
This is on my (long) list of things to do, I can have a look this weekend when I get home if you don’t get it figured out by then.
