- Hey followers,
In this video we talk about our handy CNC3D ESP32 firmware tool that is found in our CNC3D Commander software.
This tool was originally designed for Nighthawk CNC controller users to switch between 4 axis and dual axis firmware but it also works quite well for all types of ESP32 GRBL CNC controllers.
You can try out our CNC3D Commander software for controlling your GRBL based controller, it is available for free on our website here:
www.cnc3d.com.au/commander
If you just want access to the CNC3D ESP32 firmware tool without downloading and installing Commander, you can access a non-install ZIP version from our Nighthawk support page found here:

Question when I follow the video. I have no file to click on it blank.
Hello. :)
Do you mean when you open the firmware tool, you can't open a firmware file to select?
You may need to track down your firmware file location first.
The file open dialog box will only show bin files. It won't show any files that are not bin firmware files.
Most likely, you either have not downloaded the right firmware file OR you haven't unzipped your firmware files.
I hope this helps.
hello, I got an ultimatebee 1500x1500 xpro v5, and VFD. The emergency stop switch is NC. which firmware I need?
CNC_xPRO_V5_XYYZ_NC.bin
NC_xPRO_V5_XYYZ_485_NC.bin?
BTW the check door message isn't showed up. maybe its not communicating? If I press the emergency stop is it should connect?
This is likely a good sign. NC sounds like a good option but you may need to confirm with the vendor.
Any chance the Commander software would work with the Root Controller REV 3 ISO?
This is hard to say, We've never heard of it. Have you tried it to see if it connects fine?
What machine does that controller usually come with?
Ok, I just took a look. It runs on FluidNC so most likely not, we do not provide support for FluidNC because we simply cannot. it lacks all of the original GRBL settings in favour of it's own locked down settings config via YAML.
@@cnc3d thank you for taking the time to look into this! I wasn’t sure if the firmware could be rewritten to make it compatible as this is my first CNC build. It looks like I will grab the Nighthawk Control Card in the near future for an upcoming build!
@@mciarlillo1309 Awesome to hear you like Commander and the Nighthawk. :)
Changing the firmware would be difficult as you would need to re-add in the settings pointers from what was removed from FluidNC.
Commander may work but a lot of features will not function as expected and the easy settings config within Commander may cause errors.
