Miguel Valenzuela Hi Jerry, sorry for the delay. This is the inventor of the bot, typically to get direct support, send an email to support@storebound.com:
Regarding your question, I assume you are using a PC and the application does not come up? Check out the short cut on the app or go directly to the executable in the drive located under program files.

Miguel Valenzuela A few differences: Firmware on version 1 has a locked in speed. Firmware can be updated to adjust the speed.
Version Two Bottles have taller lids allowing one to tilt them more reducing risk of sucking up batter into the tube.
Version Two also has a filter and casing on the side reducing the chance of sucking batter into the vacuum system
Version 2 also uses a plastic three way connector with a barbed tip that connects the tube to the gantry. This makes it more difficult for the tubing to fall off and creates a better seal. Version 1 had a female connection.
Version 2 Bottle lids (also available separately) have a mail connection to the tubing vs. a female connection.

Miguel Valenzuela The area has to be closed completely. If there is a gap, it won't fill. Use the bucket tub to do it.

Miguel Valenzuela Hello germs will fight. When you say it goes to far, I assume you mean that it homes itself to the corner.
Check that the small switch is actually triggered near the spindle on the gantry or the base when it reaches the end. If there are problems, it usually has to do with the gantry riding too high and not triggering the switch.

Miguel Valenzuela Are you referring to the gantry? The big thing that goes over the griddle that looks like it is the attack vehicle in Tron? If this is the case, the belt may be loose and you can rectify this by unscrewing the screw that holds in the belt, and attach it again a bit tighter. Remove the tension spring before you do this and then re-apply the tension spring.

Thomas_U Hi Miguel,
glad to finally read something from you.
One big question: When are you going to answer all the other support questions on this forum that have been unanswered for months and years?
I have not started to use my PB as there are so many unanswered technical requests and I don´t want to damage it.
kind regards
Thomas_U

Miguel Valenzuela I'm not sure exactly what you are asking so I'll make a few guesses to avoid back and forth.
1. The PancakeBot reads '.GCODE' files, or files with the extension '.GCODE'. I have attached a spiral print for you to test (it prints three spirals out). Just copy the .GCODE file onto your SD card, then navigate to the file, and press play.
2. To create your own images, you need the Pancake Painter Software available at github.com/pancakebot.
This software allows you to read '.PBP' files. These files hold more information than the '.GCODE' files and allow you to change the drawing. When you are done with drawing or importing let's say, a logo, you can then export it to a '.GCODE' file that then is transferred to the SD card and printed. Before it is exported, there are settings that allow you to change the dispensing pattern as well as the fill and such.
But to be clear, you can't load a picture to your bot, you have to load it into the software, hand trace or auto trace it, then export it to the SD card and print from the SD card.

Miguel Valenzuela Are you installing from Github? It sounds like a security issue. Go to preferences and allow the app to be downloaded. Download the latest version on Github.

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Mike!
Yes, the PancakeBot would make a great tool for your catering business! Please note though, that the current version of PancakeBot is created for household use only so you will have to check with your local jurisdiction and health and safety board to ensure it can be used in that capacity.
Please contact support@storebound.com for order information regarding Canada.
Thank you!
