Universal Gcode Sender And Candle CNC Software
Вставка

- By request from a comment, here is how I downloaded and installed Universal GCode Sender (UGS) and Candle on both Linux (Mint) and Windows 10.
For Linux only, it was necessary to compile Candle, as it wouldn't run otherwise.
Calibration video is from James Dean Designs: • Calibrating your CNC a...

My original Unbox and build: • Genmitsu 3020 Pro Max ...
----------------------------------- Edit - As requested, the commands used to compile Candle ----------------------------
These commands are focused on Ubuntu/Debian based installes
Enter: sudo apt-get install build-essential
Hit Y when prompted
Enter: sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake libqt5serialport5-dev make gcc g++ git
You will be prompted for your password, enter it
Hit Y when prompted: Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
This could take some time and may throw some errors if any of the requirements are already installed, but should complete successfully.
In the video at this point I changed into the Downloads directory to complete the next set of commands.
Enter: cd Downloads
Enter: git clone github.com/Den...
All being well, you should see the source code download, as in the video.
Entering: ls -l should show a Candle folder
Enter: Candle/src
Enter: qmake
Enter: make
If everything works correctly, you should see all the compile commands run, perhaps with warnings, but there should be no errors.
ls should show all the source code files, all the object files created during compile, and the binary Candle should be visible as well, that is the program.
You can Enter: ./Candle to test it, it should look as it did in the video.
At this point you can manually move the binary to wherever you want it, as typing make install will simply tell you nothing to be done.
Thank you so much. I managed to get UGS and Candle installed and running under Linux, although I also had to uninstall brltty for my 3018 to be recognised.
You are welcome!
Welcome to Candle and UGS!
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for taking the time and going over this for linux.
Glad it helped!
I'm confused. Are they two different programs? I can't get mine to do anything. I'm down to uninstalling and reinstalling. I must have done something out of sequence.(?)
Yes, they are two separate programs which do the same thing, some people prefer Candle, others prefer UGS (I prefer UGS.) What do you mean by can't get it to do anything?
The machine isn't wanting to home. I have watched all sorts of videos that say that homing is on the left front. Yesterday I couldn't get the machine to do anything but today I actually got it to move. Not fast but it moved. It recognizes the com port and baud rate. It's an upward battle.@@numbersixofone1577
I want to enlarge the size of the chassis of a 3D printing machine to dimensions of x1000mm, y1000mm, and z1000mm. Do you have a brief statement about integrating the chassis with the program to change the sizes or a link to a video explaining this because I am just a hobbyist and I want to make a machine of this size because purchasing it from the Internet is expensive. Makina 3d plastico ?
Not sure I can help you with this one, it really depends on the machine, and if the code that runs it is accessible. It may be better to join a community which concentrates strictly on the machine you use. What is the make/model of machine?
The required commands for Linux as text in the notes would be appreciated. Some are not readable from your screen, especially the build libraries.
Hi, I've added the instructions for Candle as shown in the video.
Sorry the were difficult to see.
Is candle free
Yes, candle is opensource, and free.

This is why Linux is trash. This guide is only a year old and already out of the date. Im on a brand new install of Mint and getting
Package qt5-default is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'qt5-default' has no installation candidate
