    Re: GRBLGRU looks great BUT...

    Thanks for trying GrblGru.

    Sorry, my documentation is not yet optimal, but I am working on it.
    But on my website you can download a manual and on my Youtube channel you can find a lot of videos.

    If you have loaded a dxf file, you should first select your reference point in the right mouse context menu of the 2D view. Then you only have to press the button "Origin" in the 3D view.
    After that the tip of your tool should touch the reference point.

    Unfortunately I cannot say anything about your colors.But I think this has nothing to do with GrblGru.

    Please contact me if you have further questions.

    No the color problem is strange but not related to GbrlGru. In fact it does it with other copy paste into Microsoft paint.
    I will try your suggestions and let you know.

    As you may have assumed I am a newbie when it comes to CNC.

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, if I write to wrong thread, but I will have later a big problem, if you can't help with me this now.
    (I'm rebuilding my lathe to CNC version).

    I'm going to make threads (My lathe) with: Arduino Uno grbl 1.1 & Latest beta version of grblgru.

    Everything goes nice, UNTIL, (what I see on debug window) gru sends command G52 Y0 after a few
    threading pass. Then I get error:20 (can't get rid of any settings). If I let program to continue, blade will
    go somewhere middle of threading and continue there.

    What to do? Problem with Uno grbl or gru?

    And an one thing more, when I use Y for spindle, you should add spindle run for that, when manufacturing
    ie. candle holder
