    We are building a very specialized machine similar to a 3-axis CNC machine but instead of running g-code jobs like a CNC would, we need to perform specific actions are certain times. It's more like a robot than a CNC in its behavior.

    Regarding the Black Box 32 and it's USB or serial interface, what is the most straightforward way to tell it to simply go to X, Y, accelerating and decelerating appropriately and then just stop there? Can I just blast g-code across the port or is it more complex than that?

    I'm trying to get an understanding of how to talk to it.

    The Grbl Wiki Grbl v1.1 Interface explains the Serial interface in great detail, you would need some queue management
