I recieved my QueenBee Pro 5 days ago and I literally just finished the build. I accomplished this not by flipping through the manual but by watching your videos on TH-cam. I wanted to say thank you for creating a great followable step by step series of video for people exactly like me. You did a fantastic job creating the entire build video. Putting the parts list up on the screen at the begining of each build segment was a real help, if you could improve in one small area it would be to also put up on the screen the Gcode you type in this segment of the video. I know you displayed your counsel but unfortunately if I didnt catch you saying the commands I was not able to see the small print and found myself rewinding your video several times to catch exactly what you said. But thats only during 10 minutes out probably 6 hours of video. I guess Im trying to say you did a kick ass job and I liked every segment and of course subscribed after the very first video. Thank you very much for investing a HUGE amount of time to create this video series, I really enjoyed this build because I had a great informative video to watch and follow along with.
Thanks for the video. I put together a little cheat sheet on this setup and shared it with some others. When I got my QueemBee and XPro V5 I was lost, I never had a CNC and was really shooting from the hips. You have some great examples of setting I am going to test on my setup. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I bought a V5 controller for my first cnc and although I’ve been adventurous with everything rose I had just left the settings for this at the recommended for the distributor. I will definitely be going back and sitting a few things out after watching this.
You get to the part at the 7 minute mark where you install the two RS leads and then you say it's time to power it up. However, I don't see where you covered the other wires shown, RST and UVW. Is the green wire for the spindle input the ground? I don't see that wire in the video. Also, For RST I don't see anything running to the "S" lead. Do you have more details for these wires for dummies like me who need more details?
You should do a video about, Auto squaring with a second endstop on the A axis! Also one on configuring the probe! Thanks so much this was such a big help!
At 19:15 you say "maxs equals twenty four hundred" but type "maxs=24000" which is "twenty four thousand" (the latter is correct, but you might want to clarify the audio if you can)
There is so little info about the xPro out there. I have been trying to set up my system for a while and just kind of gave up. But I just found this video and plan to try it out again. Not sure why there aren't more thorough tutorials with the xPro. If I had known about that, I would have gone with a different controller and would have been up and running a while back. Thanks for creating this video!
I just finished setting mine up. Alot of this is much easier thru the ugs wizard. But i did have to do a crash course in grbl commands. To get my head around it.
Very informative! I recently bought the Ultimatebee and having difficulty with xpro v5 + vfd on the 1.5kw 110v setup. Would be great if you could demo that as well looks very similar to this one shown.
Greetings, I downloaded the drivers through the description and when unzipping it did not bring the installer, I tried to search for them in another way but it turned out the same as what I can do
Thank you for the videos! Do you have the controler setting documented somewhere? When you pause TH-cam it blocks the screen and you move so fast it is difficult to document the information. When I use the transcript feature it does not understand G-code phrase. Thank you
Awesome thanks for making this! I have the same kind of VFD with 1.5kw water cooled spindle, is there anything I need to configure before turning the VFD on? Want to avoid anything that can damage the VFD or spindle!
Thanks very informative! I downloaded the driver (link you provided ) For some reason the zip file is not complete, do you know where else I can download it?
Thank you so much for this detailed video, I am stuck at the Z axis making noises when I jog but it doesnt actually move up or down.... and when I invert Y the X goes back to the wrong way, vise versa, when I invert X the Y reverts back to the wrong way .... help please ...
I also got confused by this. But figured that if you use the command "$Stepper/DirInvert=x", two times it would NOT get back to it's initial state as i initially thought. It store the invertion so either it is inverted or it's empty. So if you type the same invertion again nothing is changed because the value is the same. (If $Stepper/DirInvert=x does not work try $Stepper/DirInvert=" to remove the x from being inverted, effectively inverting it from it previous setting) Also: you have to push the red reset button on the controller case for the change to go into effect.
Thanks for a great tutorial. I also enjoyed your mach3 tutorial from before.. I am currently building a similar machine, the KillerBee CNC, but were planking to keep the Mach3 setup from my older Ox CNC. Which one do you prefer so far? Mach3, or this one with the JS software?
Thanks a lot, as always perfect professional work. I have set the basic parameters, so far everything is running fine. I have one question. Each time I connect the machine to the network and start the CNCjs program, I have to reset the machine for the first time with the red button on the xPRO V5 to start / unlock / motors. When I use the Reset button in the CNCjs program and then the yellow Unlock button in the upper right corner of the monitor, the motors are silent. Only when I press the red button on the xPRO V5 controller are the motors energized. Then everything works normally goes via CNCjs in the upper right corner of the monitor / Reset button / This is always repeated after each connection of the machine. Is that okay or do I have something wrong set up? I look forward to more videos on detailed xPRO V5 setup. It's a nice Christmas present. Thank you.
I noticed that you switched up your vfd grounding from previous videos. Where are you running the wall ground, spindle ground and spindle shielding now? I'm trying to figure out how to ground all components correctly. My system has a 24V power supply, xPRO V5 and VFD.
Very nice informative video. I have a problem though. Did about. Everything the same. Can connect by USB and wifi. But jogging doesn't do anything. When I press a switch I see that in the software though. Same with emergency button. See that also in the software. What can be the reason that the motors don't do anything when jog them?
Fantastic video! Quick question; Are you able to run the higher max feed rate because you have higher rated stepper motors? The Bulkman kit comes with 3amp motors. What do you think max feed rate should be for a 3amp motor? I am running at 2000mm/min but would like to (safely) go faster, but would like to prolong stepper life as well.
Thankyou, higher current typically leads to more torque not necessarily higher feed rate. Infact sometimes it can actually cause the motor to not be able to achieve higher feed rates. With 3amp motors you can keep the default settings. You should be able to achieve 4000mm/min or close to. If not try some dry lube on your lead screws and check for any binding. I use wd40 dry lube with ptfe and have great results.
@@IllDoItMyself great videos. All the drive motors for the axis work very intermittently. The software says all are okay yet they do not move? The software simulation shows the machine moving as your video yet the machine does not move ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (I’ve had the machine for 12 months yet to get it working 😣)
Thanks I have it running thanks you explanation..... Mi sprinkler is not switch on from the program and the emergenci stop is NC and I need NO you know if there is and upgrade or some things that I can do? Thanks in advice!!!
My CNC xProV5 has a toggle switch at the bottom. The head of the switch is in the direction of 'PWM', should i toggle the switch head towards 'RS485' ?
Just set the machine but I have a problem, my emergency button is set in opposite way it should : (if you press it stops the machine but no error given, if you release it, CNCjs tell me the door is open) is there a command to invert this function in order to use it properly as emergency button? also when I use the $spindle command it just says "ok" but nothing happens and can't command the spindle from cncjs please help me
Bonjour, je sais pas si vous avez résolu votre problème mais j'ai exactement le même souci que vous mon arrêt d'urgence fonctionne a l'envers et la commande $Spindle/type=Huanyang répond seulement avec le message "ok" je ne sais pas quoi faire et je ne trouve aucune réponse sur internet. Avez vous résolu votre problème ? si oui pouvez vous partager votre solution avec moi s'il vous plait... Merci
buenas noches. una consulta, para energizar los motores debo presionar siempre el reset en la caja controladora del xpro o se puede hacer desde el cncjs?
I just purchased Ultimate Bee and I must say if it was not for your videos I would be totally lost. I am having an issue which I hope you can assist with. in your video on connect the Xpro v5 to the Huanyang Y Series you show how simple it is to connect to the RS+ and RS-. I don't have those features on the G-Penny H100-2.2S2-1B. Could you possibly assist in how i would connect the H100 to my Xprov5. Regards
Hi, first of all thank you for your videos, they are well detailed and explained. Secondly, I would like your advice since when I switch on the CNX xPRO V5, all 4 stepper motors do a strange continous tedious beeping sound (like they are cutting voltage). Do you have a suggestion if what might be going wrong please?
@@vincentbrun yes.. it is a buzzing sound. I managed to reduce the sound to an acceptable level. i found out that the sound is caused from the retention voltage of the motors being high when the motors are in idle state. in idle state the motor tries to hold its position, so it uses some energy and this causes the humming/ buzzing in the motor. you should change the idle motor voltage of each stepper motor. i forgot my settings for my motors but you can google for the idle voltage setting of can follow the settings in the video and if the humming is still there, set a lower value and see if the humming is in acceptable range. Note that, setting too much voltage will burn your motor quickly and tool low setting will result in unstable motor movement. hope it helps
Similar to the uc300 as long as your using the rs485 settings. Check my previous VFD video and use the settings I recommend for the USB RS485 dongle and you will be good to go.
I have eventually been able to get my Ultimate Bee to work perfectly following your fantastic setup video. I only have one problem. In CNCjs I am able to start the spindle with the M3 command but it will not stop with the M5 command. Am I missing a command or setting somewhere.
Thanks for sharing. Did you experience the y axis issues I see on the xpro v5 GitHub page? Are the stock cables (bulkman3d) shielded to earth or do we need to provide ourselves? I am waiting to receive the ultimate bee with this controller but I am a bit afraid.. thanks for your suggestions
Thanks for your wonderful guide! Would you happen to know why my estop button doesn't stop the spindle when I run GCode? It works if I manually start the spindle using M3 from CNCJS, which is odd...
Hi. Thank you for this very informative video. I have followed your setup completely but I have a problem with the machine not homing. When I try to home it the Z axis moves up by 1mm and the x and y axis do not move at all. Ha anyone had a similar problem and what to do to correct it.
Hi, Thanks for the great videos. I live in Barrie, Ontario and I'm thinking of buying a QueenAnt 1515 with the servos steppers (4.3amp I think). I have no clue how to select a controller and they have several options. Most are Mach 3 and I understand I would need to buy Mach 3 software if I choose one of those controllers. However, I see other options ie. GRBL controllers or Arduino based USB controllers. There are so many permutations that I don't know the best route to go. I want to use VCarve Pro and have downloaded the trial. A controller that appears on Vectrics list of controller would probably make setup easier?? The work I will be doing is 2D and 3D signs etc.
thanks, It was the one area I was worried about in my build. I note you have a 2nd clamp on the spindle, do you know if the kit comes with 2? I don't think one would be rigid enough
I have another spindle mount 80mm on the way from Bullkman as I thought there was only one in the kit should be here just after Christmas so if your in the UK and need one it can be had for cost
@@alanmccabe8009 Thanks, but my kit should be here by new year and Bulkman list 2 in the kit so I should be ok, Freight from the UK might also be more expensive than new from HK, I'm in New Zealand
Tigre mucjas gracias por tu gran labor de hacer video tutoriales es un monton de trabajo, me gustaria saber donde ba conectada la bomba de agua que trae me ayudas por favor.. me subscribire a tu canal estare a la espera...
Love your video on the queenbee from bulk man! It had been very helpful. Building one myself, but have run into EMI issues. The end-stops is triggered on and off when my spindle is running. How did you wire the shielding in the cables? Do you also wire the shielding in the end stop to ground? (when I do, my end stop is trigged, so I have just wired the stepper and spindle wire shielding to the ground)
The way to do this is use a grounding bar that every single ground is tied to. This means all shielding and ground points go to this one single point and then from there out to the wall. Nothing should split anywhere else as this could induce a loop. Take the time to do this correctly! If your still having trouble try hanging your spindle cable instead of running it through the cable chains. Also get on the facebook group for more assistance "CNC Router Workbee from China"
@@IllDoItMyself Thanks for the response ♥️ 👍 I'am going to try that. Think the noise is transfered through the grounding in my current setup for some reason. Changing the end-stop logic from 5volt to 24volt with the jumper in the controller mitigated some of the issue, but I do not fully trust it yet without doing some other measure to fix the core problem. Subscribed to the facebookgroup as well. Have bought some ferrite rings, and is going to try out that as well...
This may be late but shielded cables from the vfd to the motor is essential for low EMI, and every vfd is different so RTFM when terminating the mains wiring to the motor 👌
Awesome video! I can't seem to get my motors to move, and I've done everything exactly the same in this and previous videos, but I can't get my motors to move. Please help I'm in a serious hole here. I feel like I've tried everything.
Thanks for the video. I have tried to follow it, but I am not able to control the spindle from the xPRO v5. A guide on for the controller github stresses that the serial connection must be done with a twisted pair cable, and that it needs 120 ohm terminators at both ends. I have done the programming of the VFD as per the guide provided by the xPRO v5 guide. The spindle moves if I switch the control to the front panel with the PD001 and PD002 commands, but will not work with these settings at 2 (communication port). I am considering using analog input, but not sure how to wire from the toolhead port on the controller to the VFD. Any ideas, or suggestions?
First off, thank you so much for the videos you have made and knowledge you are willing to share. I am in the process of setting up my xpro v5 controller and ran into an issue with my hard limits (homing switches). They are wired NC & I have updated the firmware with the appropriate XYYZ_NC file. I am also using CNCjs (couldn't get very far with Universal G-code sender). If i activate a limit on the axis that is moving, it stops the axis like it should. When I send a "?" command, I receive this" " which tells me the limits are active, correct? I think that is my problem....? But if they are stopping the machine when I press one, why do they show active when not pressed? did I miss a setting in the initial set up?
Hi there After completion installation. I connect usb cable to cnc xpro v5 (after installation CNCjs 1,10.1 latest version) unfortunately on right hand side of screen only position of machine and Work is on the rest are light grey i can’t move spindle on xyz direction could you please advise me how I’m able to fix this issue Many thanks Vic
Thanks for another great tutorial. I am having issues with inverting my Y axis, when I use the $stepper/dirinvert=y command, it seems to register when I check the controller settings but doesn't actually change the direction of travel when I hit Y+. Do you have any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks
@@KM-ql8mp After you change the settings ($stepper/dirinvert=Y command), you have to reboot the controller by pressing the reset button. This fixed it for me.
Hi. I have just finished the build on my Bulkman3d Ultimate Bee with the xProV5 controller. Everything seems to work correctly, only one problem. I have set my steps per mm after checking the movement with a ruler however the z axis steps per mm is a lot higher than the x and y axis to get it to move with correct measurement. When I start a job the z axis moves up and crashes into the limit switch. what have I done wrong. X steps per mm = 320 and y steps per mm = 320 but z steps per mm = 800.
I love the idea of these units, even though I went down the Mach3, separate stepper driver route. It all works fine but having to run an XP computer for my router & another for my mill is a pain as they take up a lot of room!!! My only concern with switching over to one of these all in one units is exactly what makes them so easy, everything is inside! If a stepper driver dies on my system, I throw a 30 quid driver away. If one of the drivers dies in this type of setup, you throw away a 240 quid box, or is there a way around that?
Hello. I need help please. I kind of messed up my XPRO V5. I know there's a memory on it which I believe contains all the original software.. Could you please send me a copy.?

I managed to reduce the sound to an acceptable level. i found out that the sound is caused from the retention voltage of the motors being high when the motors are in idle state. in idle state the motor tries to hold its position, so it uses some energy and this causes the humming/ buzzing in the motor. you should change the idle motor voltage of each stepper motor. i forgot my settings for my motors but you can google for the idle voltage setting of can follow the settings in the video and if the humming is still there, set a lower value and see if the humming is in acceptable range. Note that, setting too much voltage will burn your motor quickly and tool low setting will result in unstable motor movement. hope it helps
Thanks for the tutorial. Do we have to change the VFD setup or it can be the same as UC300 Controller?
Similar to the uc300 as long as your using the rs485 settings. Check my previous VFD video and use the settings I recommend for the USB RS485 dongle and you will be good to go.
I have eventually been able to get my Ultimate Bee to work perfectly following your fantastic setup video. I only have one problem. In CNCjs I am able to start the spindle with the M3 command but it will not stop with the M5 command. Am I missing a command or setting somewhere.
saludos desde España. ¿podrías pasarme esa hoja de trucos. tengo la ULTIMATEBEE 1500x750
?
Hello sir, is this compatible with lightburn software???
How do we wire the inside of the emergency stop switch?
Thanks for sharing. Did you experience the y axis issues I see on the xpro v5 GitHub page? Are the stock cables (bulkman3d) shielded to earth or do we need to provide ourselves? I am waiting to receive the ultimate bee with this controller but I am a bit afraid.. thanks for your suggestions
Hey you got any more info on this??
Hi.I have this problem when starting the spindle appears alarm 10,and the machine does not work.How to fix it.
Does the HuanYang Converter needs to be configured to be able to control the spindle over the software?
I did all the configuration but still the x and z in wrong direction do I need to update the firmware??
Why do i get invalid statement when i try to invert axis? This started happening after i upgraded the firmware to fluidNC
Hi. I turn on the spindle and it immediately says HARD LIMIT. My cables are shielded.
Can you help me?
how to disable it or ....? thank you
Hello. Do you know what the best remote pendent to use to interface with the spark control?
Thanks for your wonderful guide! Would you happen to know why my estop button doesn't stop the spindle when I run GCode? It works if I manually start the spindle using M3 from CNCJS, which is odd...
Hi. Thank you for this very informative video. I have followed your setup completely but I have a problem with the machine not homing. When I try to home it the Z axis moves up by 1mm and the x and y axis do not move at all. Ha anyone had a similar problem and what to do to correct it.
Hi, Thanks for the great videos. I live in Barrie, Ontario and I'm thinking of buying a QueenAnt 1515 with the servos steppers (4.3amp I think). I have no clue how to select a controller and they have several options. Most are Mach 3 and I understand I would need to buy Mach 3 software if I choose one of those controllers. However, I see other options ie. GRBL controllers or Arduino based USB controllers. There are so many permutations that I don't know the best route to go. I want to use VCarve Pro and have downloaded the trial. A controller that appears on Vectrics list of controller would probably make setup easier?? The work I will be doing is 2D and 3D signs etc.
Hi there!!! My spindler is not thorning on by the program do you know why or how should I do it? Thanks any way for this videos
thanks, It was the one area I was worried about in my build. I note you have a 2nd clamp on the spindle, do you know if the kit comes with 2? I don't think one would be rigid enough
The kit does only come with one. I recommend adding another.
@@IllDoItMyself I just checked and it lists 2 in the kit, so that's good, One certainly wouldn't be enough
I received a kit last week and it has two spindle mounts with the 2.2kw spindle. I think Bulkman must be sending two now.
I have another spindle mount 80mm on the way from Bullkman as I thought there was only one in the kit should be here just after Christmas so if your in the UK and need one it can be had for cost
@@alanmccabe8009 Thanks, but my kit should be here by new year and Bulkman list 2 in the kit so I should be ok, Freight from the UK might also be more expensive than new from HK, I'm in New Zealand

What's the difference between queenbee pro and queenbee ultimate?
Do the entries into the consul for gcodes (grbl) matter if they are upper or lower-case?
No it's not case sensitive
I cant seem to find the drivers for this anymore. just a text file. you wouldn't happen to know where to find those would you?
Thanks
Thanks for your hard work it did help me . but i have a problam on my configuration i get a message [MSG check door ] can you help pleas thanks
could we have the file to test? I was just going through the setup and don't really have anything to build yet, but want to make sure it all runs ok
Love your video on the queenbee from bulk man! It had been very helpful. Building one myself, but have run into EMI issues. The end-stops is triggered on and off when my spindle is running. How did you wire the shielding in the cables? Do you also wire the shielding in the end stop to ground? (when I do, my end stop is trigged, so I have just wired the stepper and spindle wire shielding to the ground)
The way to do this is use a grounding bar that every single ground is tied to. This means all shielding and ground points go to this one single point and then from there out to the wall. Nothing should split anywhere else as this could induce a loop. Take the time to do this correctly! If your still having trouble try hanging your spindle cable instead of running it through the cable chains. Also get on the facebook group for more assistance "CNC Router Workbee from China"
@@IllDoItMyself Thanks for the response ♥️ 👍 I'am going to try that. Think the noise is transfered through the grounding in my current setup for some reason. Changing the end-stop logic from 5volt to 24volt with the jumper in the controller mitigated some of the issue, but I do not fully trust it yet without doing some other measure to fix the core problem. Subscribed to the facebookgroup as well. Have bought some ferrite rings, and is going to try out that as well...
This may be late but shielded cables from the vfd to the motor is essential for low EMI, and every vfd is different so RTFM when terminating the mains wiring to the motor 👌
I have the YL620 and it doesn’t have an RS- or RS+ pins on the vfd. Any ideas which ones I connect to?
The .exe install files are not included in the drivers zip.
I too have had the same problem with the .exe
Does this support a handheld mpg pendant?
my cnc when i move any axis 100mm they goes 140mm. how i can solve that issue? thanks
Awesome video! I can't seem to get my motors to move, and I've done everything exactly the same in this and previous videos, but I can't get my motors to move. Please help I'm in a serious hole here. I feel like I've tried everything.
Can you invert the X & Y switches? They are not compressed and yet they come up in the $ command? Doing my head in. I’ve tried $limits/invert
Thanks for the video. I have tried to follow it, but I am not able to control the spindle from the xPRO v5. A guide on for the controller github stresses that the serial connection must be done with a twisted pair cable, and that it needs 120 ohm terminators at both ends. I have done the programming of the VFD as per the guide provided by the xPRO v5 guide. The spindle moves if I switch the control to the front panel with the PD001 and PD002 commands, but will not work with these settings at 2 (communication port). I am considering using analog input, but not sure how to wire from the toolhead port on the controller to the VFD. Any ideas, or suggestions?
I have the same problem. How do you rich it?
Can you solve EOCA error? When i start spindle test like you explain i get EOCA error
Do you have a link for Mac drivers?
First off, thank you so much for the videos you have made and knowledge you are willing to share. I am in the process of setting up my xpro v5 controller and ran into an issue with my hard limits (homing switches). They are wired NC & I have updated the firmware with the appropriate XYYZ_NC file. I am also using CNCjs (couldn't get very far with Universal G-code sender). If i activate a limit on the axis that is moving, it stops the axis like it should. When I send a "?" command, I receive this" " which tells me the limits are active, correct? I think that is my problem....? But if they are stopping the machine when I press one, why do they show active when not pressed? did I miss a setting in the initial set up?
Hi there
After completion installation. I connect usb cable to cnc xpro v5 (after installation CNCjs 1,10.1 latest version) unfortunately on right hand side of screen only position of machine and Work is on the rest are light grey i can’t move spindle on xyz direction could you please advise me how I’m able to fix this issue
Many thanks
Vic
Thanks for another great tutorial. I am having issues with inverting my Y axis, when I use the $stepper/dirinvert=y command, it seems to register when I check the controller settings but doesn't actually change the direction of travel when I hit Y+. Do you have any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks
I had the same problem. Did you figure it out? I ended up changing the wiring around to change the direction
@@KM-ql8mp After you change the settings ($stepper/dirinvert=Y command), you have to reboot the controller by pressing the reset button. This fixed it for me.
@@KM-ql8mp try to press the reset button on the controller
Hi. I have just finished the build on my Bulkman3d Ultimate Bee with the xProV5 controller. Everything seems to work correctly, only one problem. I have set my steps per mm after checking the movement with a ruler however the z axis steps per mm is a lot higher than the x and y axis to get it to move with correct measurement. When I start a job the z axis moves up and crashes into the limit switch. what have I done wrong. X steps per mm = 320 and y steps per mm = 320 but z steps per mm = 800.
Been trying to make the spindle work using this for 3 days straight. All I get is spindle did not reach speed
I love the idea of these units, even though I went down the Mach3, separate stepper driver route. It all works fine but having to run an XP computer for my router & another for my mill is a pain as they take up a lot of room!!! My only concern with switching over to one of these all in one units is exactly what makes them so easy, everything is inside! If a stepper driver dies on my system, I throw a 30 quid driver away. If one of the drivers dies in this type of setup, you throw away a 240 quid box, or is there a way around that?
Hello. I need help please. I kind of messed up my XPRO V5. I know there's a memory on it which I believe contains all the original software.. Could you please send me a copy.?
