grbl Hotwire: Free CNC Software And Firmware For Your 8-bit And 32-bit Controllers
#freesoftware #grbl #firmware
In July 2020, I released Hot Wire GrblMega 5X Software using a version of Gauthier Brière firmware I made some minor changes to suit 4-axis foam cutting. This has been received very well; to date, there have been nearly 7000 downloads of the firmware and software.
So why have I released this new version?
New Features requested by users
Adjusting the hot wire current on a running gob
Adjusting the feed rate on a running job
Support for 32-bit boards running a grblHAL
The video says the firmware for the MKS Gen L V 1 and 2 are different. Since this video was made
the firmware for the MKS Gen L and Arduino Mega board is the same now. I consolidated it to make support and development easier.
This free software I’ve called grbl Hotwire which still works with the Arduino Mega-based boards.
