The RML-1 is probably selected by default. ![]() When you click on this, you’ll see a screen like the one below. Step 2: Change the setup from expecting custom Roland commands to standard G-CodeĬlick on the “Setup” button, which is shown in the above screenshot at the bottom right of the dashboard. I found that by default, the “User Coordinate System” setting was selected in the dropdowns at the top of the main dashboard, as shown below. I needed to change a few settings in here. I use this software application to send G-Code. ![]() Note: This post doesn’t explain how to move your milling bit to the zero position on the machine – if you have the iModela, that is all covered in the instructions which ship with the machine. ![]() ![]() It turns out that this is pretty simple, but you may need to tweak your G-Code slightly to make sure the iModela is able to recognise it. I’m interested in using this G-Code with my iModela device, so I’ve been investigating how to do this. There’s a great library for this tool which will convert your PCB design into G-Code, which allows you to send this to a CNC milling machine. I’m using the Eagle PCB design tool from CadSoft to lay out my PCBs.
