What CNC mills does the Carvera Community firmware support?
| Compatibility Status | |
|---|---|
| Carvera | Fully Supported |
| Carvera Air | Fully Supported on machines with Control Boards < revision v1.9 |
| Z1 | Planned to be supported |
The Community stance is as follows:
As we have no control over Makera, cross support between Makera and Community developed software (Controller/Firmware) is best effort. The best experience will be using both Community Firmware with Community Controller.
The following matrix tables shows the tested cross compatibility status.
| Community Controller 2.0.0 | |
|---|---|
| Makera Firmware >=1.0.4 | Non functioning |
| Makera Firmware 1.0.3 | Functions correctly |
| Makera Firmware 1.0.2 | Functions correctly |
| Makera Firmware <=1.0.1 | Diagnostic Screen is non-functioning. Rest of app works |
It is expected that if you are using the Community Firmware, that you are also using the Community Controller. Community development efforts have not been spent testing the Makera Controller + Community firmware scenarios.
As Makera Firmware >=1.0.4 is not functioning with the Community Controller 2.0.0 if you want to install Community firmware, you need to follow this sequence:
- Using Makera Controller ≥ v0.9.13 follow the Firmware Installation procedure
- After the machine resets it will be running the Community Firmware and you can now use the Community Controller
Alternatively if you have issues using the Makera Controller to upload the firmware, you can use the SD Card method.
