SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / how to use Enroute 3 to generate TAP file or G-code file for Mach4
« on: September 19, 2017, 06:12:27 PM »
I am new to Mach4 Smartbob, almost finish the new controller using 424 usb board and now need to learn how to generated the G-code to run in Mach 4
on the design, I am using Adobe illustrator to draw the line file and I usually save them in ai3 format, then use Enroute 3 to export the DXF for my old Camtech Routermaster TCPWIN software to send the file to the router.
the tool size, speed, group etc are control by the TCPWIN
Now that I am using Mach4, I need the new process to setup. I see there are many driver in Enroute but none of them is Mach3 or 4.
Can someone give me some suggestion how I can do all this?
Thanks.
