ps for quick tests try gcode-sender the simple chrome app .
it has been working so well for me that i have slacked off making my own sender program .
you can see small shot of its preview window at start here video
old early version of my test rig . as you can see in my thread I have changed mine quite a bit now , as it can hold a small bit . LOL
the chrome g code sender is real simple you cna get it here ( works on chrome books too ) google gcode-sender
more info on this sender here
it talks nice to my custom arduino firmware, but I think GBRL rigs play nice too.
i have been testing freeCAD and trying to understand heeks , i have been using solvespace to make my G code for my tests so far and a had some luck with a inkscape plugin .
I'm looking for a free and easy cam that can make 2.5 and 3d paths.
I have a feeling i will just end up making one eventually . LOL
Old coder, and bodger of things that may spark.
