Grbl controller modification? #415

Closed soja closed 10 years ago

soja commented 10 years ago

Are there any people available who could help me adding a feature to the Grbl-controller software against payment?

@soja: This request is a little vague. What exactly do you have in mind?

soja commented 10 years ago

I am not an expert with this programming language. I wanted to implement a drop down menu that would let a user choose from various available G-code programs. Ideal would be also to simplify the menu so that normal users won't get confused. Thanks.

@soja: Unfortunately, I think you're misunderstanding what Grbl does. It's only firmware and a basic interface through USB/serial. It doesn't do anything else. It's only the CNC controller.

There is no GUI for a drop-down menu or file handling. All of these types of tasks are performed by GUI programs, like Universal G-code Sender (UGS) and others. If you search for them on google, you'll come up with several you can choose from.

I just realized. Sorry for this mishap. I thought this was the GitHub for http://zapmaker.org/projects/grbl-controller-3-0/ Do you favor any of the controller UI's? Thanks again!
