How does the config loading work for UGS? I get a "no firmwares found" error.
Also it isn't really at all clear how to use it with g2core. Are there instructions anywhere? A video would be very helpful.
Ahhh. Just to check, which version of UGS are you using? :smile:
The support for g2 is in the nightly builds, not yet in the main UGS releases. I grabbed the "UGS Platform" download from here just now, and tried it successfully:

With that (in theory) there should be an option to set the controller type being connected to. eg GRBL, TinyG (g2core), (etc).
Does that help? :smile:
I can connect but I get a "no firmwares" error, the image below, or once I was able to get a firmware setting page but i don't really know how. I can guess it was after trying cncjs or some other gui. I'm using the latest nightly version of UGS platform 64bit and the latest 101.03 .bin on a due.
I love the 32 bit processor and motion planning but honestly the experience of trying to understand how to get g2 up and running has been extremely frustrating.
Yeah, I very much get where you're coming from. Once you have it up and running it tends to just keep on working, but the learning curve isn't super simple. :frowning:
As a thought, since I don't personally have time to get into this properly, I'd recommend pinging the UGS folk. At least @breiler (added the TinyG/g2core support to UGS) might be able to point you in the right direction. :smile:
I would recommend that you try the g2core 100.26 version. I've had some issues with the later versions.
