    Which pp to choose for arduino grbl?

    I am going to use an arduino with grbl to control my cnc. Which post processor can I choose to generate the correct gcode?

    Thanks

    Re: Which pp to choose for arduino grbl?

    My experience with GRBL has been good overall.

    I have used Mach 3 as a post and edited the g-code file to remove tool change commands.

    Several G-code senders will report back errors that GRBL doesn't like. Usually just deleting the offending line will allow it to run.

    Good luck with your endeavors.

    Cool Re: Which pp to choose for arduino grbl?

    I use the attached one.
    Just remove ".txt" from the file name and place it in the PostP folder (or My_PostP folder).
    Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude.
    My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.
