    Try to use open builds cam to send a g code to open builds control, to then operate a JD's garage 3x 4 plasma table,

    I'm in the open bills cam I have a part installed I've created a tool paths but now the create g code is just spinning saying unavailable please wait.

    I've attached a picture of what the screen looks like if anybody can help.

    Thank you for your help I'm new at this. Building the table with all of it components apparently was the easy part.

    You didn't setup the toolpath at all. Edit it and tell it what to do

    Sorry I'm an idiot! I didn't think to click on the thing on the right to move the thing up and down. Thank you so much let me give this a try. Brand new 60-year-old trying to figure out this new stuff!

    Normally not needed, when you add the toolpath it pops up the same window. You mustve Cancelled that window without doing the setup, for it to be Unconfigured

    You are correct! I've done that now uploaded it into the openbuilds control and it will run, but comes up with an error code 36 after the Pierce relay clicks for the plasma cutter and then it drops down to start cutting. I am doing a dry run now, without the plasma cutter being turned on. More troubleshooting... Video for everyone's enjoyment! Please don't laugh too loud.

    a "p1000" in there, not Grbl Compatible Gcode. You maybe added something in in CAM > Settings tab > Settings button > Advanced that doesn't belong there? Maybe something other than a "S" in
    Spindle / Laser / Plasma Command
