"Cricut Explore Air is the ultimate electronic cutting machine for DIY projects and crafts with embedded Bluetooth® for wireless cutting. " https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/machines/cricut-explore-air.html The non-Air one makes no mention of how it is used. My guess is USB because USB is roughly wired Bluetooth. -- Les Cargill |

A generalized term for this type of machine is a CSR, a Computerized Signmaking Robot. A common use for them is to cut vinyl film to make signs that can be stuck on cars, windows or anywhere else you like. I once wrote a converter to convert HPGL to a CSR's propriety language. Many machines accept HPGL directly. To the computer, they will then look like a plotter. That means you must feed it vector graphics. Bitmaps will need to go through a process called tracing before you can output them to the cutter. If I remember right, the knives were quite expensive. If I were to buy a CSR, I would find out if it accepts a standard language. If it does not, it will only work with the vendor's own software, which may not suit your needs. I have seen software that had its own proprietary format for fonts. You could not use TTF, and the font packages were, of course, blindingly expensive. -- RoRo |

Seems to have the same problem, battery used to last well over a year, now it lasts a few weeks, maybe. I just take it out when not in use. Jon |
