GRBL-Plotter VS Grbl-GCode-Sender

If you also need to convert graphics into gcode, you may try grbl-Plotter: https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter https://grbl-plotter.de/?setlang=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxiLZDTcWmNzBk5ksgC7\_Rg

I tried to implement Marlin support in my GRBL-Plotter and it was not simple: E.g. Command for position feedback needs to be injected to normal gcode. In grbl an asynchrone '?' delivers the actual position - much more easy... I definetly would go with grbl. https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter

Took the picture myself -> Ran photo through this image to lines converter which gave me an SVG -> Used grbl plotter software for converting SVG to gcode -> sent to Drew

2) This software that I used for sending commands to the robot also had a tool for converting images into lines that worked quite well - https://grbl-plotter.de

Try grbl-plotter https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter

try https://github.com/terjeio/ioSender even though it is made for grblHAL I believe it is also compatible with old fashion Arduino/GRBL

Candle is not my favorite sender, I have no idea why the Chinese think it is a good thing to use. If really isn't helpful in diagnosing problems like this. I suggest you switch to UGS (Universal GCode Sender) or ioSender.

Check out ioSender. It has height map probing and can use that to transform the loaded GCode so that the Z zero follows the height map. Great for etching and milling PCBs. Only runs on windows but works in a Windows VM on linux.

By the way, GrblPanel is no longer supported by the author. I used it a lot until I found ioSender which is a lot like GrblPanel but significantly better and supported by an active developer. Beta 8 is here. Worth trying.
