DeskProto user forum

Hi,

I'm using a DIY CNC machine controlled by Arduino/GRBL (which is very common on such machine). As GRBL is not proposed in your default postproc list, I selected the "ISO plain G-codes mm".

An issue (minor, indeed) is the % symbol on the 1st line, which is not recognized.

But how to be sure that the rest of the code is fully compatible with GRBL? Is anybody already tested it?

Very thank you.

Hi Matock,

You will be pleased to know that two GRBL postprocessors are present in DeskProto (Version 7), called "GRBL (Arduino) - inch" and "GRBL (Arduino) - mm".
I think that you have searched the list of machines, as indeed no machine with the name GRBL is present. Machines that use this postprocessor are for instance the Shapeoke series.
What you can do is use one of these machines, or create a new machine definition (Options > Library of Machines > Add), enter the proper speeds and dimensions (use the Help button for help!) and select the GRBL postprocessor to be used.

Ahhhh...
Yes, indeed. I'm confused.
Thank you very much.
