Favorite grbl sending software and why?
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

Marlin for CNC?
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
- ? just returning ok and nothing else

I built a Drawing Robot that I hooked up to text -> image AI (DALLE 2). It will attempt to draw whatever you ask it to
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

Help identifying cnc axis system
I'm using LaserWeb4 on the Pi, which can do milling and laser G-code generation and machine operations.
- Was hoping for a a Pinned FAQ for beginners!
