    Question how to send G-Code from PC to Arduino Uno??

    Hello Guys ,

    iam having problem with sending the G-Code to arduino ?

    Iam using:
    1- Stepper-motor is
    (Sanyo Denki Type: 103-775-0148 Step-Syn Stepping Motor)

    2- Arduino-UNO
    3- IC (L938n)
    4- Power Supply (12 V)

    its all worked perfectly

    what i need is how to send code to the Arduino to make the motor moves
    for example i want to draw a simple line how to tell the arduino to make the stepper-motor move

    First flash the GRBL software to your arduino (see previous post)

    You will then need CAD software to design the paths, something like Inkscape (free).
    Then you will need CAM software to create the toolpaths,
    lastly you will need a control panel to send the Gcode to the machine.

    I suggest you check out GRBLGru, its capable of making and simulating toolpaths as well as sending the gcode to the machine.

    Are you sure about the L938n? I can't find it on Google. May be you meant L298n?
    Also do you have any spec on the stepper? how many wires does it have?
    If it is 4 wires you might be able to drive it using Arduino Uno's CNC shield with only one A4988 driver. If so GRBL and any gcode sender is the way to go.
