laser controller not reading from flash drive

Post by fijikim »

Hi all,
I have a Chinese JQ Laser 9060 running RDWORKS. I make a very simple program of two squares and save it to udsk(flash drive). I get some garbage message when it saves, but the file is saved. I thought these machines ran GCode, but the output the the udsk is a binary file. File extension is .rd

I have the udsk formatted as FAT32. I have tried two different flash drives. I have tried the USB port on the side of the machine and also the USB port directly on the controller. When I tell it to read from the flash drive it says NO FILES.

Any idea what I am missing?

Thanks.
