I have just purchased the Maslow gen2 and am having trouble getting ground control to connect to the machine.

what do you mean by “Maslow gen2”? the makermade m2 machine is not compatible
with ground control, you have to use their software

I sure hope this isn’t the maker made!

the best way to tell is to look at the controller board, is it an arduino mega
or an arduino due?

can’t tell from that pic, need to look at the bottom board (the one the USB
plugs into)

It is a mega

Use Webcontrol v0.94 follow the help menu for setup and calibrate with holey calibration.

Only MakerMade is still selling those, but it’s a copy of our old design. I didn’t realize that they were putting our logo on them too (it’s a trademark :roll_eyes: )

I think that WebControl is better than Ground Control at this point and probably the way to go

I don’t think that is a Maker Made, I have only seen them in blue. I think this is a original, most likely purchased used.

Will web control work on Mac? I don’t see a link to download it for Mac.

I think you are totally correct, my bad!

Looking good!

I’m sorry I’m a bit rusty, it’s been almost a decade :grinning:

I remember a lot of folks running Webcontrol on a raspberry pie as a popular option

Web Control is written in Python, so it should be able to run on a Mac, the
headache would be tracking down what the packages are called on the Mac (which
may vary depending on how you are installing the packages)

Are there any links to the original setup for this unit?

Here is some info. I would strongly suggest using Webcontrol. I use it on Linux it works great and holely calibration is a step up.
