Onefinity New Users Start Here // Explaining The Buttons And Icons On The BB Controller Screen

[@davekolp4552]

Very good, thanks. I just ordered my onefinity and am watching every video I can while I wait for my machine to arrive.

[@OnefinityCNC]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@gregdh46]

this was very helpful for us beginners thanks

[@OnefinityCNC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@viktoriaciostek6184]

Thank you for making this. I’m a first time CNC user and had no clue how to start operating my onefinity. I like how thorough and step by step your explanations are.

[@OnefinityCNC]

Glad it was helpful!

vielen dank! frage wie kann ich planfräsen?

[@rtroiani]

Question on homing. I saw on the Elite there is some hack to make homing faster, and on my Shapeoko there was a command to send to make it home faster. Is there anything on the Pro controller that you know of to home faster?

[@OnefinityCNC]

There is not, nor do we recommend changing any default settings.

[@Decaf_Oatmeal]

I purchased a onefinity recently but the user interface that came installed is completely different from the one in your videos. Has onefinity done an update? Do you have any videos on using the latest interface?

[@OnefinityCNC]

The interface has been updated a little since this video.

[@donaldjeansonne8667]

Thanks for your info on the purchasing of the joy stick. My other question is will it work when plugged in or do I have to load some file or driver for it to work? If I need some file please let me know. Thanks again.

[@OnefinityCNC]

No file needed, just plug in, select the right mode, and go!

[@donaldjeansonne8667]

@@OnefinityCNC Thanks I got it working.

[@frankrossi5019]

Great video. Is there a drawing or wiring diagram for the power unit you are using?

[@OnefinityCNC]

Which power unit?

With the monitor your using do you need any extra cables,that are shown on the Amazon may need site? Thanks for your time..

[@OnefinityCNC]

Cables come with the standard screen.

Thankyou for the video ive been looking at getting a onefinity machine i best start saving now then.

[@OnefinityCNC]

Glad I could help

[@paulleonard2211]

Good information. I have a onefinity on the way. I don't have internet in my shop so I plan on using a memory stick. Do you have any videos covering the method of loading and use of a memory stick. Thanks.

[@AngryPCTech]

you dont need internet you just need a cheap router to create a local area network .

[@djzette1]

hallo. change tool and attach probe ? und färht in den not aus

[@bobd.]

Smashing the E-stop button won't turn the router off right? You'll still have to do that yourself either on the router or using a switch on the panel as you do.

[@OnefinityCNC]

Correct.

[@leslielee1640]

Iam not going to order a screen from onefinity..so I guess my question is what cables are required to get your after market monitor working with the onefinity setup?.

[@OnefinityCNC]

Just like any screen, a power cable for power, and a hdmi cable for video. It the screen has 'touch' capability, it will use a usb cable for touch.

[@ricksands9810]

How do you link and get the Onefinity screen on your computer you did not explain that in this video. Thanks this was a very Helpful video

[@mrtoddk]

See if this helps you. Get your Onefinity connected to your network and then browse to that IP address from the web browser on your PC. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmK4fo2rrpKAhas

brand doesn't really matter, just the inside guts.

What is the differance between X 50 Journeyman and the X 50 woodworker?

[@OnefinityCNC]

woodworker is 32x32 and journeyman is 48x32 cutting size

[@sprntkr]

Is this model the woodworker?

[@bretharris8615]

This is a very good tutorial but I am not even at this stage yet after 2 weeks of set-up. Infinity provides about 50% of what you need to get started. It is up to you to figure out dust collection, cable management, design software, safety, secure mounting, washboard scheme, piece-securing, and just about every other imaginable facet of potential use of the machine. I am thinking that it will be a few months before I create my piece, if I don't give up.

[@OnefinityCNC]

You can do it!

[@SOuimet30]

I know the feeling, I received mine earlier this week. It's my first contact with a CNC or any similar device, so I'm very green with this. There's so much to think of. My humble suggestion: baby steps, one small victory at a time and enjoy the process. Things don't need to be perfect the first time. It's possible to rig something temporarily, like for cable management or dust collection, in order to be able to move forward, and improve them afterward, once it's working. If you would see my setup, you would laugh. Yet, this is allowing me to surface the wasteboard, and do my first few trial cuts on foam later today. Yes, it's a big challenge, but I think of it as lot of small challenges that can all be taken care of one at a time. It feels great to get through them, seeing the progress made. The nice results will come afterwards.

how do i get the screen control to my laptop

[@OnefinityCNC]

you need to network your controller.

Hi Andrew - thanks for watching - here's the link to the monitor: amzn.to/3bQjHFW

[@berner57]

Do you ever need to tell the system the size of your stock? Or is that just your responsibility when setting up?

[@OnefinityCNC]

That happens in the CAD design.

[@AngryPCTech]

@@OnefinityCNC being able to set a stock size in the web interface would help in visualizing place and workflows several programs i use in the laser cam have this ability

[@billbaggins9961]

Great content and very helpful for me. 1 question though, during shutdown I have to actually flip the switch off on my controller or it (Fan) continues to run... Is this normal or once I hit SHUTDOWN on my monitor should it kill the power to the controller also? I was a bit confused when you explained it because you didn't mention to turn off the actual controller once the monitor screen go's to the black screen!

[@OnefinityCNC]

Bill, After shutting down on the screen, once it goes black, you flip the switch to turn off power.

[@billbaggins9961]

@@OnefinityCNC Ok good, that's what I have been doing. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't supposed to turn off when just clicking the SHUTDOWN from the screen. Thanks again

how do you upload gcode

[@OnefinityCNC]

check our other videos.

[@luisp8999]

This video has helped me to realize I don’t want one of these machines. How tedious they are!

[@OnefinityCNC]

Sorry Lewis. We think we're pretty simple yet give a lot of options for advanced users and do NOT require a network connection :P

[@blainetrain2299]

What happens if u want to re-use a design but have different dimensions for the materials? Are the materials part of the GCode or is it critical that the next piece use the same dimensions as the original?

[@OnefinityCNC]

you need to rezero xyz for each material change.

[@blainetrain2299]

@@OnefinityCNC Thank you! Can't wait for mine to get here.
