![]() ![]() I’m going to mention that several times, because powering the machine off and back on usually prompts the software to try to establish the connection again. ![]() This should clear up after the software and the machine have completed the cancellation, but once in a while it just stays on “syncing.” Turn the machine off and back on to clear it. –cancelled the cut on the machine itself. You may even need to turn the Curio off, push the platform in further and then turn it back on. Unload and reload the platform to fix this. I find it happens often even when you loaded it correctly but the software is trying to establish the connection. –connected a Curio without loading its platform correctly. –gone to the Send area and just then turned on your machine. This means the software is still trying to establish a connection with the machine but it doesn’t sense one yet. But if you’re cutting by being cord-connected, you’re all set. We’ll talk in a later lesson about using the Bluetooth feature. This means your software has a good connection with your machine via a USB cord and is ready to go. Here are the possibilities: Status: Ready ![]() That tells you the status of the connection. Look for what it says under the machine name. For now, we are only looking at the different things that have to do with the connection specifically. It does also tell you what the machine is doing currently, but we’re going to go into in more detail in future lessons in this series. This area will also tell you if the software can find a connection with that machine. If I hook up my Curio instead, I see that machine. Notice mine says “Cameo” and the icon looks like a Cameo. This is the machine that is currently connected or that your software detected the last time you used one. As we go through more details, you’ll see why this matters. Let’s start by looking at the larger one and learning what that area tells you.įirst, the icon and wording tell you which machine the software thinks you are using (or will be using). In the bottom right, you’ll see 2 different pics of Silhouette machines – a larger one on the left and a smaller one on the right. If you are on any release of version 4 below that, continue with this post. It can be helpful if you want to see what the changes are before you update. If you are on version 4.1.441 or higher, I’ll add a link to that post here once it’s written. That post will also show you how to figure out which version you are using currently. To learn more about why and how to update, see this post. But I’m also going to add a post with the info on the changes to the send area. I’m going to leave this post intact for those of you who haven’t updated yet. Well, wouldn’t you know it? Just days after I published this post the beta version was released as the new current (regular) version – 4.1.441. If and when a Beta version with changes becomes the current regular release, I will update this post. In the current Beta version, there are a few changes to the Send area for connections and device management. NOTE: I am a Beta tester for the Silhouette Studio software. You don’t always need to memorize numbers if you have them stored somewhere. I’m going to use a phone analogy today, so think of this post like a phone book. Just read over it and then you’ll know you can refer back to it if you ever have a problem with your machine connecting or with getting the software to cut from the correct machine. This is one of those lessons with a good deal of information that you may not need right away. I will always be honest about my opinion of any product. This helps me to be able to keep my business going and provide more tutorials. That means if you click the link and purchase something, I receive a small commission. Note: This post contains affiliate links. Then we’ll talk about what to do if you use more than 1 machine. We’re going to go over making sure the software recognizes that your machine is connected and what to do if it doesn’t. It’s all about managing how the software communicates with your machine. What in the world is that? That’s today’s topic. That probably all sounds familiar – except perhaps connections and device management. ![]() Then we’ll go over the 3 ways you can cut a project - via the USB cord, Bluetooth or a USB stick. In the next set of lessons, we’re going to cover machine connection, device management and the test cut feature (including why you should or shouldn’t use it). ) We’re going to shift now and get into the mechanics of starting and managing the cut job. Up to this point in this series, we’ve discussed choices you make to get set up to cut. ![]()
