M2 ASSEMBLY GUIDE
3. POWER:
Ensure your M2 DUE Board is plugged into power and the USB to your computer.
*See Chapter 3: Assembling your M2 and be sure your motors are connected!
ATTENTION: When connecting your M2 for the first time, be sure to be close to a power
source to unplug if anything does not go as planned.
If the X, Y, and Z motors are not plugged in completely to the motors and Arduino DUE
Board, the M2 will not follow your commands and will act wonky (like continuing to move
when you only told it to move 1 inch).
USING A MACHINE CONTROL APPLICATION
1. DOWNLOAD:
You need a machine control application (also known as a Gcode sender). We suggest our
Makerverse for your M2 and many other CNC machines. It’s based off the open source CNCjs
software. Download it for your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer here: https://makermade.
2. OPEN MAKERVERSE:
Click “allow program” to open. It is pending release in the Windows and Mac App Stores. An
account is not required, but you may set one up later.
