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

If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
For 2.5d, look at bCNC. https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/wiki It is a combined CAM and sender for GRBL based CNC machines. It imports .dxf files and has enough CAM functionality to be useful. The UI is a bit eccentric (A common pattern) but stick with it; bCNC was my go to CAM for years.
- What's the best Gcode sender out there?
- Alternative to Candle/grblControl that includes finding center of holes and workpieces?

Has anyone LinuxCNC on Orange Pi 800 experience?
Can install straight from pip which is nice. https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC

Out of sheer interest: What is your guys' job? And if you are not working already, what degree to you study? Or what else are you doing?
What about putting together the two jobs!?!? https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC this is a CNC controller for GRBL made in python. i use it with my home made cnc milling machine :)

Anyone out there using a BL touch to align their 3018 mill?
bCNC can do this; https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/wiki/AutoLevel

Python GCode Client for GRBL
If you are after a Python client for GRBL, give bCNC a try. I use it on my own setup and love it.
- hey! i'm planning to get into arduino and had a couple questions (in comments)

Hey guys, do you know what to use for creating gcodes, except inkscape (the old version where the extension works is not working with my newer mac). I have build a plotter with cnc shield running on grbl. Which means i have a servo and cant use Fusion 360. i think…
Maybe bCNC could do the job? Haven’t tested it but it sounds promising
