G-Code2GRBL

G-Code2GRBL

This App provides the interface between a tablet (10” preferred) and a GRBL CNC machine. The connection is using Bluetooth. The preferred receiver is a Bluetooth device called HC-06. More details about the connection is shown on the Help-Tab „Hardware Prerequisites” inside the App.

You can use raw G-Code commands as well as predefined buttons to control your CNC device. But the main feature is sending G-Code files to the GRBL controller.

GRBL Versions 0.9 and 1.1 are supported.

Some Features are:
- Buttons to move all Axis and setup zero positions etc.
- Support of Z-Axis Probing
- Sending G-Code files
- M06 Tool Change adapted to GRBL's M00 Pause command
- Observing the communication
- Store often used commands
- Arduino Sketch to configure the Bluetooth receiver
- Help Pages to setup the Bluetooth connection
- Speed Change during file transfer
