Now, flip the power switch on top of the control box to turn on the electronics. You should see four red lights
inside the box light up to confirm that everything is receiving power.
Once you’ve checked that the lights are turning on, flip the power switch back off.
A note on the control box is that it will be limited in it’s placement due to the length of the Z-axis motor cable. If
you wish to place it further from the machine, extending the wires for that cable is quite straightforward either
through the use of a soldering iron or through crimp-able wire extenders.
Connecting the LongMill to your computer
To manipulate your LongMill and send it files, you’ll need a g-code sender which acts as the control software.
We recommend using UGSPlatform, which is what we’ll be using to show the next couple of steps and in the
remaining part of the assembly. You can download UGSPlatform here:
Note: Some users have reported some bugs with the latest version (Dec 2019) of UGSPlatform. We recommend
users to use the August 2019 version of UGSPlatform.
UGSPlatform works with any operating system (MacOS, Windows, Linux) that has Java installed. Most computers
come with Java installed but if you don’t have Java, you can download and install it here:
