Overview

Gcode Sender will take a G-code program and send it line-by-line to the Arduino. You can also execute individual commands to test your setup.

Downloading

Download from github.

Installation and configuration

Save the .EXE somewhere you'll be able to find it. I like to keep things nice and neat, so I saved it to c:\Program Files\G-code_sender\gcodesender.exe

Using GcodeSender

Connecting

Plug in your Arduino before launching GcodeSender or you'll get an error that GcodeSender can't find a com port.

Click 'Open' to establish a connection with the Arduino.

Testing

In the 'Command' box, type 'X20' to move the head 20mm in the x-axis.

GRBL expects the lines to end with \r\n. Other programs might expect \n\r.

Sending G-code

Click "Browse" to load your G-code.

Click "Print" to send the G-code
