Is there an easy way to get MK to read g-code lines one at a time from a serial port? That means to read a code, then execute it right aways that wait for another g-code.
The reason I ask is I was thinking the best way to make a hand help pendent or controller is to have the controller send g-code. It I won't to jog and axis or do just about anything it can be sent over an 2 wire connection. The controller I want to make will have a physical rotary encoder with 100 division and some push buttons and an LCD screen. But I can envision doing this also on an Android tablet. The jog wheel and DRO are on screen. g-code seems the natural method of interface. Marlin, the software that runs on most 3D printers does this. It reads g-code from a USB port, building a hand held controller for Marlin is simple, just send g-codes. I'd like to do the same with MK. And use the same hand controller for both -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
