ShopBot Sb4 Desktop View; friendly, familiar CNC interface for ShopBotters
Sb4 is a FabMo App with the look and feel of the legacy Sb3 ShopBot Software -- familiar to ShopBot users, and thus a good starting point for getting comfortable with FabMo. It may also be useful for those wanting to work at the motion-coding level with digital fabrication tools as the OpenSBP language is more human-friendly and programmable than g-code. The Macro (scripting) language of FabMo is also OpenSBP so the Sb4 interface allows testing Macro concepts.
Starting the App will yield a CNC experinece and offer an interaction somewhat like the older, Windows-based ShopBot Software. The ShopBot CNC language, OpenSBP, is supported along with standard g-code. Interaction with the system is via a menuing system and command line input, similar to the Sb3 ShopBot Software.
Currently the only available documentation is this README and the "CommandRef" PDF that is found under Help. This documentation describes the usage of all the OpenSBP Commands. A more comprehensive "guide" is coming soon that will highlight some of the limited changes to the syntax that were required for compatibility with FabMo features and the new low-level hardware for ShopBot running on FabMo. Documentation for the OpenSBP digital fab syntax is also available at opensbp.org ...
