Just got a new Linksprite DIY cnc engraver router. Trying to figure out how to operate the machine from my macbook. Can anyone help?
You need to use the http://chilipeppr.com/grbl workspace. Install Serial Port Server on your pc then connect your machine. Watch out for the version of grbl flashed on your arduino because version 1.1 widget is not yet ready @Justin_Adie and me are “finishing” the new parser
As Luca said above, you are on the right track. Im a Mac guy I can use chillipeppr and USB solution (JSON) to control the machine. I generate my gCode using Fusion360 which runs very well on the Mac as well. Reading briefly about you machine seeing it is GRBL based - you are good to go.
