Connecting to Your Nighthawk  
There are multiple options that you can use to connect to your Nighthawk – USB, WIFI and  
Bluetooth.  
USB  
Your first instinct may be to use USB however this is the least reliable way to control and  
run your machine and it is heavily discouraged! While it’s running the spindle will create lots  
of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and electrical noise which can cause the USB  
connection to drop out resulting in random job stoppages or irregular machine behaviour.  
WiFi  
The best possible way to run your QB2 is via WiFi and connecting the machine to an existing  
WiFi network such as a house or factory network.  
The next preferable option is WiFi – Direct Access Point Mode which allows you to connect  
directly to the Nighthawk instead of connecting the Nighthawk to an existing network. This  
will be the best option if there is no network in the area where your QB2 is located or if you  
are using a mesh network/WiFi range extenders as the Nighthawk cannot connect to these  
networks. This works the same as connecting to a network, but the drawback is that the  
computer running the machine will not have access to the internet while running the  
machine.  
Bluetooth  
The third option is connecting to the Nighthawk via Bluetooth from a compatible PC or  
Laptop (not a smartphone!)  
Bluetooth works the same as USB without the physical cable so it will eliminate the risk of  
EMI and unpredictable machine behaviour.

connections through our Commander software
