The controller then doesn't respond and I have to switch the machine off and on again. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

I would like to persevere with the offline controller to be independent off laptop position

Many thanks
I have the same issue: i have a cnc 3018 pro and I would like to use it with offline controller and sd card. To create the cnc file I use Freecad on Ubuntu Linux.

I think the problem is in the cnc file: in the example files the end line char in each line is \r\n but in my files the end line char of each line is \n.

I hope I can solve using the command line tool unix2dos to convert my files in Ascii Text with CRLF line terminators.
