Is that machine ok to use Bagat jadranka?

Fusseldieb commented 5 years ago

GRBL is mainly made for CNC and/or Lasers. "Bagat jadranka" turns out to be a sewing machine, upon a quick Google search.

A sewing machine hasn't a X or Y position, only a Z. It wouldn't make any sense.

But if you somehow manage to get motors to move the material in the X/Y direction, you would just need to hook up Z also and you're good to go.

"All" you need is a Arduino, Stepper Motors, Stepper Drivers, a power supply and a lot of patience.

Basically, it doesn't matter if it's a sewing machine, a CNC, a Laser, a 3D printer, a microwave or a cat. All it does is taking G-Code and turning it into motor movement. GRBL doesn't really care what the machine is.
