1.2 Install a New Carbide Motion Board (v2.3 or earlier)
If you have an older Carbide Motion board (2.3 or earlier), you should have purchased a new Carbide Motion
PCB and enclosure with your BitRunner V2. Before setting up the BitRunner V2, you will need to install the
new controller:
1.
Power off the machine.
2.
Disconnect the power and USB cables, and all of the motor cables and homing switches from the
board.
3.
Remove your old controller from the machine.
4.
Install the new controller. The USB and power ports face the back of the machine.
5.
Reconnect the motor, homing switch, power, and USB cables.
1.3 Connect the BitRunner V2 to the Controller
The BitRunner V2 is designed to lay flat on the ground near your work table and electrical outlet.
The 6-pin male-to-female logic cable connects the BitRunner V2 to the Shapeoko controller. The male end of
the cable plugs into the BitRunner V2 and the female end plugs into the controller.
WARNING:
Be careful when plugging in the logic cable. The connectors are polarized and MUST be
inserted properly. While the cable has reverse voltage protection to prevent damage to the
controller and BitRunner V2, the BitRunner V2 will not work unless cable is correctly plugged in.
NOTE:
Avoid kinking the cable and ensure it will not be snagged or pinched by any moving parts.
