Thank you so much for your video!!! I just installed it and I only had one hitch. When I set the same Ip, subnet, and gateway as my pc it would never connect. I had to change the last set of numbers in the Ip address to something different. than my pc, it connected right up and works great!!! PLEASE keep the MASSO tutorials coming!!!! GREAT CHANNEL!!!!!
Thanks, Brian! One important thing to note, when I allowed the Masso to “find” the IP address, the last two numbers were different than what was shown on my computer (081 vs 078). I noticed that it did that, but I didn’t understand why. But, thanks to your comment, I now understand why it did that. 😊👍
I was going to be setting up wifi for mine this weekend so this video will be super helpful. Thank you for putting out all of these informative videos. It's greatly appreciated.
Hey@@MitchellsWoodwork just wanted to let you know that this video did in fact help me get my wifi set up on my Masso controller. Thanks a lot! I appreciate your help on this. Keep up the amazing work!
Great walkthrough. One thing to consider - if the file you're transferring is a 3D model that is say 15mb in size, it may just be easier to slap the flash drive into your computer as it will be much quicker.
Hi Marty, as always great tutorial. I now understand what I have been seeing when you transfer a file to the machine, However, I am still in caveman mode, but I will remember this video and if I decide to change, I will be able to make the switch. The main reason I will remain in caveman mode is my ability to make changes in my toolpaths while running a project. One thing to note. The short cuts you showed are good for everyone. I will at least follow that. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback, Jim. If I’m understanding you correctly, you’ve opted to not use the WiFi transfer function and instead just save the gcode to the thumb drive and then plug the thumb drive into the Masso to upload your gcode (ie: caveman mode), and this allows you to still make changes to toolpaths in the middle of a project. I guess I’m not understanding why you couldn’t do the same thing wirelessly through the Masso Link?
@@MitchellsWoodworkDidn't seem possible, when you loaded the file, all toolpaths seemed to be run consecutively. If I am alert and careful to make sure I have each tool numbered, then a tool path would be prompted. My method is to save all toolpaths to file (Carveco Maker) then load individually. I am still using a Makita and haven't set up my tools in the Masso. All my bits are set up for the Makita, not for the factory recommendations. My delay is prompted by my decision to upgrade to a PwnCNC spindle. I thought (until you corrected me that feeds and speeds are different for the spindle). I am working on a new tool database with the factory recommendations for each bit. Really dread loading it in the Masso one at a time.
Question... so you have to have a thumb drive inserted in the Masso controller and you download it to the thumb drive? Then the controller reads the thumb drive?
@@searl1 correct. The Masso doesn’t have onboard storage. I just wirelessly transfer my gcode files from my laptop to the Masso. I hardly ever need to remove the thumb drive, it’s basically a permanent onboard storage device for the Masso.
Between the two, I’ve only used the PwnCNC tool setter, so I can’t really compare the two from personal experience. However, according to their website the PwnCNC metalworker tool setter has exceptional positioning accuracy with a tolerance of 0.001mm. Also it costs around $15 less than the Onefinity which doesn’t list any accuracy information. You can use my affiliate link to save an additional 5% off your order at PwnCNC.

I am having an issue with my masso using carvico. I zero the onefinity to the material and then when i load the job its shifted to the right, its not centered with in the material. Sometimes so much i have to move the material to get all on the material. Is there something im missing?
Sounds like it’s possible that your job setup parameters in Carveco don’t match where you’re actually zeroing your X and Y. For example, if you’re zeroing your XY on the CENTER of your work piece, make sure you have selected “center” in the job set up, instead of “lower left”…or vice versa. Let me know if this helps.
I just got a new elite upgrade and cannot connect to my wifi. I tried everything. I have 2.4 gig and an excellent signal. i wonder if I have a bad module in masso
ALSO, if you’re Masso is still running v5.06 I’d recommend you go ahead and upgrade to v5.07 through your “Masso MyWorkshop” account. Your current version number is at the top left of your Masso screen. This may not help with your WiFi setup, I’m not sure about that. But since you’re just starting with a new unit you might as well start with the latest software.
@@MitchellsWoodwork I have a range extender that is hardwired and plugged in right next to the Masso controller. It still drops signal once in a while. I don't completely understand all the voodoo magic inside the confuser so I end up restarting the Masso to reconnect.
Masso controller says no WIFI Module ? Should have come with the G3-Touch and shows orderd with my Elite. First time trying to set it up, maybe im missing something?
Marty, when I opened the link, I was given the option for v2.11 and v2.12. v2.11 is for machines running Masso software v5.06 and v2.12 is for machines running software v5.07. I downloaded v2.11 and set it up. Works fine. However, this morning I got a message from Masso regarding the release of Masso software v5.07. I guess if I upgrade my Masso software, I will have to changes from Link v2.11 to Link v2.12. Nothing is ever easy or simple. I did read in the release notes that v5.07 fixes the bug problem about the spindle starting issue.
Yeah, brother, technology never sits still. It’s always growing and evolving. All we can do is try to keep up with the upgrades, whether it’s cell phones, computers, CNC’s, TV’s or whatever. Nothing stays the same very long.
I can't post photos here in the comments, but if you'll email me at mitchellswoodwork [at] gmail dot com I'll be glad to send you a photo of my Z settings.
Got up and going Thanks to you. I had downloaded 2.12 and could not connect. Download 2.11 and was able to connect. I wrote Masso explaining my situation. I did not know there was a software update, 5.08. (I think) I have not upgraded so still using 2.11. Used it today to transfer some files on a couple of projects I am working on. I am lucky to live in Gig City some files transferred quickly. The ONLY thing I wish this setup could do is transfer files during a carve but hey I love this feature. I appreciate you taking the time to show how to set this up and use it. I hope you are continuing to get better.
lol Yep. First city to have 100% fiber to each home (if desired) they just came out with 2.5gig package but I’m good at a gig haha Keep up the good work and getting healthy.

I will do this tomorrow morning when I get to my store.
Thank you for the video!!
Let me know how it goes!

You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes this weekend. I'm always interested in "real-world" feedback. Thanks!

Woot! Woot! That’s great to hear! Thanks for the update! 😉👍

Great point! I suppose “caveman mode” can be the best way…sometimes. 😉
Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@jimpalmer1944ok, I think I now understand. You're not using a tool setter?
Hi thanks for your amazing videos I like the 3 inputs did you mention the value of the resistors on the input switches
I’m not sure which part of this video you’re referring to??
Question... so you have to have a thumb drive inserted in the Masso controller and you download it to the thumb drive? Then the controller reads the thumb drive?
@@searl1 correct. The Masso doesn’t have onboard storage. I just wirelessly transfer my gcode files from my laptop to the Masso. I hardly ever need to remove the thumb drive, it’s basically a permanent onboard storage device for the Masso.
Question. Does the WiFi module come already install in the controller or do have to buy one and install it first?
It’s already installed.
Do you prefer Onefinity to setter or Pwncnc tool setter

I don’t use Carvico yet. Sounds like you may have checked offset somewhere?

Try to do it without creating a permanent IP address on the Masso.
ALSO, if you’re Masso is still running v5.06 I’d recommend you go ahead and upgrade to v5.07 through your “Masso MyWorkshop” account. Your current version number is at the top left of your Masso screen. This may not help with your WiFi setup, I’m not sure about that. But since you’re just starting with a new unit you might as well start with the latest software.
Mine drops the connection every now and then. Wish there was a hardwire ethernet port!
Sorry to hear that. Would a WiFi signal booster help your situation?
@@MitchellsWoodwork I have a range extender that is hardwired and plugged in right next to the Masso controller. It still drops signal once in a while. I don't completely understand all the voodoo magic inside the confuser so I end up restarting the Masso to reconnect.
Voodoo, indeed! I’m constantly amazed that ANY of this stuff can actually do the voodoo that we do!
😁👍
Masso controller says no WIFI Module ? Should have come with the G3-Touch and shows orderd with my Elite. First time trying to set it up, maybe im missing something?
It should definitely have a WiFi module. Do you have the red WiFi button at top right of your screens (F2 - F6)??
I did not, i do now after messing with it? Trying to set it up now. Thanx @@MitchellsWoodwork
Good deal, let me know how it goes for you.
All good now, only started working after the 5.07 update Thank you for the help.@@MitchellsWoodwork
Working sometimes after update. Module present sometimes after start up. Probably wifi issue, not major problem. I like the mobile app feature!
BTW, I emailed you a recent project I did that you might enjoy. Check the spam folder.
Dude! That’s gorgeous! I’ve replied to your email. 😊👍
Thanks again your videos are awesome

Just got mine setup today. Thanks for posting. It was very helpful.
That’s great, congrats!! Thanks for watching!!
Hi love you videos
I’m having problem with Z axis alarm is it possible to get the default settings to reset it
Thanks
I can't post photos here in the comments, but if you'll email me at mitchellswoodwork [at] gmail dot com I'll be glad to send you a photo of my Z settings.
did you make video of Julie Dixon with stature of liberty
No, that was about a month before I got serious about making UA-cam videos. Sorry.
Thanks for this video, I was unable to get it working using the documentation from Masso.
Thanks, Pat
I'm glad I was able to help you, Pat. Thanks for watching!
Do you still have to have a thumb drive installed on the Masso to send files from your computer?
Yes, because the Masso doesn't have any internal storage....which is kinda ridiculous IMO.
Thanks!
Thanks James!! 😊👍
Perfect timing as I going set up the Wi-Fi this weekend….thank you
Awesome! Please come back here and update us when you finish setting it up. I’d really appreciate some real-world feedback. Thanks!

So happy to hear you got it connected! I had to Google “gig city” 😁, I never knew Chattanooga had that nickname!
lol Yep. First city to have 100% fiber to each home (if desired) they just came out with 2.5gig package but I’m good at a gig haha Keep up the good work and getting healthy.
