y-axis

Looking into the images I saw that y axis is a little more complicated that the one from shapeoko: http://www.liteplacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/machine-from-left.jpg vs http://pumpingstationone.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/inventables_Shapeoko_v21068.jpg is it because you need more space t...

Re: Use GRBL instead of TinyG

The problem with GCode is that it is a file format, not a comms protocol. So there is no standard for how a controller should respond to commands. In Reprap, the controller replies with "OK" (or an error message). "OK" means that the command has been queued for execution, but pr...

Re: Use GRBL instead of TinyG

GRBL also has the feedback report. If someone needs to buy the tinyg vs (arduino + grbl shield) the price diference is only some $. I was thinking on that because I already got the electronics laying around :p

Re: Use GRBL instead of TinyG

I'm using TinyG in JSON mode. I'm not familiar with GRBL, so I don't know if it has that, but the feedback of JSON is essential.

Use GRBL instead of TinyG

Did you change the TinyG firmware or you just send G-code commands to it? I'm asking that because I have a grbl shield for arduino so I can save some money here :D

thank you
