Hopefully the mainboard swap is not too bad. Adding this option does make it nice to not worry about having a computer hooked up to the cnc to run it everytime.
Steve. Thank you for the tutorial. I normally would not ask however, I am having the toughest time getting this module to connect to my 6050plus. Do you have any advice?
I didn't have any issues with the module to the CNC, that was just plug in the cable and turn it on. I did have to make sure that I had a pure 2.4ghz wireless network for the module to connect to. It did not like my main wifi network that is 2.4 and 5ghz. Also make sure the micro SD card is in the module. You might want to try formatting it on your PC as well if you are having issues. I've seen that cause issues with other machines.
Thanks Dave. I'm not always a fan of the wireless setups and mobile apps for the bench top lasers and CNC machines but this one actually seems like a decent option.
Just ordered my module, I also have to swap out the mainboard to get it to work as I have the 4040-pro

Thanks Steve. Just got mine up and running today. Your video helped.
Glad it helped! I’m looking forward to testing it more to see if it is easier than the attached PC method.
Well done Steve. Good info.

Nice Video , It works great with my XL4030V2.
Good to hear! I am liking this as an option for controlling the 6050.
