WorkBee CNC Wiring & Commissioning 45
6.2.2 Configuring The Firmware
A. Under the large white console output, there is a text input area labeled ‘Command:’
where G-Code commands can be sent to the CNC-xPro. To bring up the current firm-
ware settings type ‘$$’ and press enter.
B. In Appendix B we have provided a set of recommended settings for each drive version
of the WorkBee. Each setting has an id number and a value, and in order to change a
setting to a new value, enter $id = new value. For instance, if setting number 100 is
incorrect when compared to Appendix B, correct it by entering $100 = 200. Do this for
all the settings in Appendix B, choosing the list that is appropriate for the drive of
machine you have.
C. Setting number 130 and 131 will depend on the size of the machine you have. The
values to enter here should be 200mm less than your X-Axis size and 230mm less
than your Y-Axis size. For instance, on a 750x750mm machine the values for 130 and
131 should be 550 and 520 respectively.
