- Are you considering a new machine or have some serious technical CNC questions?
This week we are honored to have Andy Lee, one of the 2 owners of Sienci Labs!
They are the company that designed and developed the Longmill CNC router, gSender control software, Super Longboard, and other CNC innovations related to our craft.
Andy will answer any questions you have related to their equipment and cover other technical CNC topics.
We will see you at 8pm EST on the IDC Woodcraft channel!

Andy was great. I had to watch a day late. Tornadoes, thunderstorms and power outages kept me offline last night.
WaterN2WineCreations, happy to have you here brother!
Great Job on this video!!!
Longmil is a great machine!!! Andy thank you for your help and time answering all the questions!
Garrett and your employees,keep up the great work that your all doing!!! You all have amazing energy put in your company!!!
grantpeckford8082, glad to hear you liked this one brother! Happy CNcing.
I bought the SLB with the hope that you would soon develop the touch screen computer module you talked about tonight. I really hope it is available soon!
donaldbecker4642, it should be right around the corner brother! Happy CNCing.
Thank you Garrett, for all the interesting informations shared on this type of events.
Greeting to you from Morocco.
ahmedalami6795, you are so welcome my friend.
I love this channel it very informative Garrett
cunninghamguitarz5216, Thank you, Garrett! I'm glad you find the content informative my friend.
big yes for touch screen networkable display/computer
MrCpuccio, right on brother! Big ideas coming down the pipeline for Longmill!
To Mark Eldon,
In my Experience,
The Unexpected Stoppages are mostly caused by interference (EMI) generated from High Power Electric equipment that may operate nearby. Even the Router Spindle itself can trigger false alarms by corrupting the signals as it is a high voltage power device, which ideally comes Unearthed with a plastic Body., So Radiated EMI Will not dissipate hence it will disturb delicate signals...!
Possible Solutions:-
1) Separate Spindle Cable or Any High Power device Cable from signal/low voltage Wires ( EStop/Limit Switch/Step/Dir/Inputs/Outputs,/Digital Wires..etc) Dont route them together.
In essence low voltage Signal wires (Limits,EStops,Motor Signal Wires..etc) should be isolated from high voltage wires.(VFD,SMPS,,Router Motor,Spindle,Fluorescent Lamps,Plasma Sources..etc)
2) Use Shielded Cables for all such Signal Wires and connect the shielding to the Earth Ground on the enclosure side only.
Similarly the high voltage lines are to be shielded and grounded at the enclosure Bus Bar. This is called a Single Point Grounding
3)Attach Ferrite Cores at Both ends of all such signal Cables. Ferrites are passive EMI Filters. Or You Can Buy EMI Filters and route mains lines through them.
4)Keep the Signal Cables as short as possible so that You Can Reduce interference from High Voltage Sources and in conjunction with Ferrites.
3)USB Based Connections are prone to EMI corruption . So Use Good grade Shielded USB cables and Use with Ferrites as well. Keep them as short as possible.
4)Cheap way is ,
wrapping Aluminium tape around all cables and connect one end to the Earth Ground.
Solder a lead to the shielding and connect to the common Earth bar provided inside enclosure.!
Do this for all cables if possible. So the earthing of the shields of all the cables will meet at one point only.,which is the Earth bar inside enclosure.! Then the Earth bar is grounded to the actual EarthRod. Make sure to use braided copper bands for shielding , which would give good results.
The idea is, if the signal Cable encounters High frequency waves at any of its passage , the shielding will immediately pick it up and send to ground. So maximum coverage is needed with shielding
user-oq9ml8jb1t, Thank you for sharing your insights on dealing with unexpected stoppages due to EMI interference from high-power electric equipment. It's important to follow proper cable routing and grounding techniques to minimize these issues when using CNC routers. These tips can be helpful for maintaining a stable signal connection during woodworking operations.
How do you connect two wire limit switches to the super long board?
Also, what cable is used for the rs485 port?
yourashero, I recommend reaching out to longmill directly on this one my friend. They should be able to give you a little better guidance than I can on this one. Here's the link to their contact page →sienci.com/contact-us/?ref=idcwoodcraft.
How much memory is required to run the programs on your computer
rodneyquesenberry9526, that depends on what software you are running brother! For gSender, I recommend reaching out to longmill directly on this one my friend. They should be able to give you a little better guidance than I can on this one. Here's the link to their contact page →sienci.com/contact-us/?ref=idcwoodcraft.
