I have a smoothieboard, CNC/laser, that works well using Lightburn but not when using gSender. On initiating g Sender all axes lock when I power up. GSender shows this as an unknown error. Reverting to Lightburn, everything works as it should. With rev 1.5.1 I don’t see a selection tab for other types of controller and nothing else I can try fixes this issue.
Can anyone help?
Hi Lyles,
Welcome to the playground.
It seems the smoothieboard is a 32 bit controller. I don’t know that this means that it uses grblhall or simple grbl but maybe you can try and connect to your board via either to see if that loosens things up?
that board uses an ARM controller, theoretically it should be supported
if you connect over usb select GRBL
if you connect over ethernet select GRBLHAL in the settings
