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

Anyone work making software for CNC machines ?
there is a free projecton github: GRBL.
- Using PySerial how do you wait for confirmation?

I want some opinions and advices on a personal/educational project (zig on stm32 ,a simple grbl)
You could see if translate-c can handle the grbl source. https://github.com/grbl/grbl

Got a box of parts and can't identify this board.
It's a GRBL board for a small 3-axis CNC machine. GRBL firmware uses gcode just like 3D printers, but CNC gcode has some commands that 3D printers don't, and vice versa, and CNC gcode is modal (remembers certain operations and settings) in ways that printer software such as Marlin/klipper/RRF isn't.
