GCODE !

WHAT`S THE BEST HOST SOFTWARE TO SEND COMMANDS TO ARDUINO GCODE INTERPRETER????

No need to shout! >:(

I wrote one in processing because I wanted to run it on a Mac

There are lots of PC stuff about if you google.

Ahhh.. a message in blue, must be royal blood :wink:

IF you already have all the GCode, then any program on your mac/pc that copies a file to a COM port will "send it" to the Arduino. on a pc, just use

C:\ Copy file.txt COM3

However, there probably is some protocol involved, as a minimum to handle flow control (wait with sending next command until the previous is done) . And your sending program and your arduino code have to agree on that, which then limits the choice somewhat. But as you give no info on that ... :-?

I have a piece of software that sits on the PC and sends gcode to a sketch (wot i rote) that interprets it and controls 3 EasyDrivers if you are interested
