Good afternoon, I am building a machine with all OpenBuilds components and controlled by Black Box, I need our machine to be able to move throughout our installation and for this I want to integrate a small tablet with USB to connect to the BlackBox of our CNC. The tablet has an Android operating system and from what I have seen I can access the control software if it is loaded on a computer as a server via http: // ip_server: 3000. Can you tell me if this will work and from the tablet load a Gcode file to send to the CNC? Thanks a lot for your time
Our software only runs on Mac, Windows and Linux And yes it has a web interface that you can load up in the browser on a mobile device over LAN, but the USB/Backend still runs on the computer. There may be Android applications that will talk to Grbl over android-usb-otg - search Playstore for "grbl" - BlackBox runs on Grbl 1.1 Firmware, see gnea/grbl
