ok lastly you mentioned sending gcode over wifi with the x32? how does that work? Thanks for your help. I know Im a novice
Its more a thing for people who don't have an Interface and wants a lesser experience without the cost of the Interface. CONTROL > GRBL Settings > Wifi SSID and password around the $70s somewhere (72 and 73 I think, not at my desk at the moment, but you'll see it). Save and reset. When it connects IP is shown in output of $I command. Enter that in a web browser. Interface is better though
Had that wrong, its $74 and $75. Click Save, Reset when prompted. Some networks seems to need an extra Reset (use the RESET button on BlackBox's front panel) Give it a couple seconds to connect You'll see a WIFI STA ACTIVE message in the log Then Send a "I$" command to see the IP it got from your network's DHCP: And enter that into a Web Browser to open GrblHAL's Web Interface
