Dear All

Is it if I replace the TINYG controller board with GRBL 4Axis Stepper Motor Controller.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with the changes that are required when using an alternative controller

I’ll be happy to. You need to know how to:

- Do motors setup. You don’t necessarily have to be able to do setup programmatically, and for a one-off project, that is would be most likely unnecessarily tedious anyway. But you need to do setup.

- Control two output lines (for pump and the valve) from the program

- Get immediate feedback when the machine has done the movement the program commands

- reconfigure limit switches programmatically (for the z probe to work)

And then do the corresponding changes to the software.

Dear All,

Greetings for the new year!

I found a new Arduino Due version of Tiny G named Tiny G2 which seems compatible with Tiny G.
Can someone confirm weather this can be used with Liteplacer (software).

The link to G2 is :

Thanks.

I don't believe that another, non-supported board would work directly. depending on details, the conversion might or might not be easy. If you want to adapt the software to another board, please talk to me. Iäll be happy to assist, provide support and even some code to test.
