Next Wave Control Panel

[dasundg]

I have created a design and saved it successfully in the VCarve Pro software, but how do I load it from the Next Wave Control Panel so I can run the CNC Machine? I can't figure out how to get the program to run.

Hi,

The next step, while still in VCarve, is to use the Save Toolpath tool to save your toolpath in a format that you then use with the Shark Basic Panel.

This step is covered in a video in this forum here - http://www.cncsharktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=105. You will need to have the Shark Post Processors installed so that you can choose the right one during this step. If you haven't done that, or don't recall doing that, you can review the setup instructions in the manual that came with the Shark. For some complimentary to the manual discussion on this, see this post - http://www.cncsharktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=260.

I like pictures and movies...

Please let the forum know if this helped, and by all means - keep asking. Enjoy!
