What happened

Hello,

I'm trying to connect a iDraw 1.0 to UGS 2.1.8 on Mac (I've tried 2.1.7 and got the same result). The only error I can find is the one on the screenshot. I did not find any log in ~/Library/Application Support/ugsplatform/var/log/messages.log

Thanks for the help!

From a quick search, the IDraw uses a different protocol (EBB) which is not supported by UGS.

Hi Breiler,

Thanks for the quick answer.

I'm following a guide they published https://uunatek.com/blogs/tips-and-tricks/understanding-gcode-and-setting-up-the-idraw-machine-for-the-first-time-gcode-usage

Perhaps my specific model is using the protocol you mentioned. Thank you!

The responses in the screenshot is nothing that I recognize for any controller that UGS supports. You will need to contact your vendor for instructions on how to use your machine.

Yes there are other ways to control it, I just hoped that UGS would work, as it would definitely be the best option ;)

Thanks again for the help!
