UGS opening file issue
This is probably caused by a cache bug (https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/2332). You can try and delete C:\Users\\AppData\Local\ugsplatform\Cache\

Can I connect my laptop to my desktop CNC with a bluetooth usb dongle?
Get a raspberry pi, https://www.raspberrypi.org/, throw UGS https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ or cnc.js https://cnc.js.org/ on it.

Problems with UGS and grbl 1.1. It is constantly spamming this, I can't do anything without it starting again. Have restarted and reset everything, I'm at a loss. Appreciate any help
In that case I'm interested in your log files. I would appreciate a bug report so that I can investigate this further: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/new/choose

What software are you using with your Inventables Carvey?
I was looking at other options and since I've used UGS on another machine I researched it a bit and found mentions of Carvey using a custom grbl implementation called gcarvin and while it's mentioned that support was added to UGS through the controller list, it doesn't show up and I haven't been able to find any more info.

Has anyone ever used a stepper motor as their spindle? (GRBL question)
It looks like UGS supports multiple axes if your controller does. https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/1068

GRBL Error 33 from Arduino Sender, but not from UGS
UGS does indeed have an arc to segment converter: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/blob/master/ugs-core/src/com/willwinder/universalgcodesender/gcode/processors/ArcExpander.java

Laser Engraving?
https://lasergrbl.com/ is a way to stream G-code to an arduino using windows so we are a step closer here but there are a lot of in-between steps that we are missing like how we are going to power the laser (can our boards handle this/have the right connections or do we need to slap some auxiliary electronic board on and then figure out how to yell commands at it)
What are some alternatives?
