WHAT OS FOR CAMBAM DRIVER
But… again, to me it means going off the rails even more, into the realm of introducing even more potential issues for a noob, rather than just getting the latest known-good off-the-shelf controller (eg: what is the problem? my driver/controller hardware, or my driver software (ChiliPeppr, Mach3, UNCNC, whatevs), or my CAM output, or my OnShape CAD design?). This is what started me down the path of Tinyg G2 and Arduino Due, and then discovering ChiliPeppr. Lastly, I don’t mind cloud based software, but I hope to run the machine without a PC connected. Does ChiliPeppr play nice with these (as graceful and gotcha-free as Mach3 or other known, matured systems)? Then I realized I need to produce GCode and need CAM, which I guess means CAMBAM or Fusion 360. I can export STL, assuming that is the way to go. I’d use Fusion but I find parametric drawing and constraints insanely easier in OnShape. I’m using OnShape (free/non-commercial) and FreeCAD (for projects that need to be commercial). I’m just barely getting my head around all the components that get me from design to final product. Because I’m new, I wont know, when I encounter issues, whether it is because of me, or the software. My main concern is getting myself into frustrating corners with something new rather than super-established and lots of online tutorials and support (like anything with Mach3, etc). I’m new to CNC and am building my own CNC router and PCB diller.
