Procedures won't save bad engineering. BUT they are great for saving human error in implementing good design. I appreciate you showing and talking thru the steps.
@@OffHoursEngineering why did you choose that ? I think I speak for everyone entering this interest/hobby… which option to get in terms of the USB pro, offline , black box, GBRl, Mach3…. I haven’t seen ESTL on the bulkman site. We don’t want to get the basic one that’s easy but restricted and have to get another down the track but having not used any it’s pretty much lucky dip
I talk a bit about why I am using an Arduino in part 6 of the series, but basically it was the easiest and cheapest option since I already had all the hardware for it and I've used Arduinos a lot for other projects so I know how to work with them. And ESTL is completely separate from Bulkman it's freeware from a German programmer called Christian Knüll. And in no way is it limited, it has more features than any G-code sender for GRBL I've used. ESTLcam from the same developer is almost as powerful as some of the cheaper vectric software, and this is also free. So it is basically a win win. And if I upgrade to linuxcnc in the future, as I have talked about, I'm not replacing something I've spent any money at all on, so it is still a one time investment.
I really appreciate your work in these videos, its my default place to come

No problem, happy to help.
I will reply to your email as well, just know it might take couple of days.
5:20 "Line" should be at the top of the "device", "load" at the bottom. It's the "top to bottom", "left to right", and "front to back" rule.
what controller software you using on the queen bee
I'm using ESTL controller with an Arduino Nano as a breakout board.

And your video of the hawk birth is pretty awesome bro
Haha, that's actually not me. The live streaming of the hawks nest is 902Marine I think the channel is called.

can i use my own mach3 Controller with QueenBee PRO CNC Router
Yes, if you want too. You can buy it without any electronics and reuse what you have on hand. That's what I did.
