Ground control ports

Troubleshooting
1

In ground control I try to open a file I imported from the community garden. I have the file on my computer but I don’t know how to get to it thru ground control. I don’t have any ports available either.

2

Can you run GroundControl and did the calibration?
On what operating system (windows?) are you running GC?
Often files are ‘zipped’ (packed) and need to be unzipped to use
A cutting file for GC would need valid files with endings like .nc, .ngc, .gcode and more.

I did the calibration and test cut with success. The file ends with MD. Thank you for any help you can offer.

4

What file from the garden? Perhaps if i know more i can show a way.

This sounds like a “mark down” file which is a human readable file for things like instructions. I think you want a .nc file or a .gcode file to open in Ground Control. If the file isn’t a type that Ground Control can open it won’t be shown.

Yes, one program is Vacuum-Hose-Clamp. I just wanted something to run as I haven’t had any luck with autodesk fusion 360 post.
Thank You

You can see the ‘zipper’ on the folder image. Win$ tricks you to enter those as if they where extracted.
maybe the solution is to extract this files.
