 Introduction
________________________________________________________________________
Also See mcjTTY for a version without GRBL addons Head This Way for the new version which works with the Marlin Firmware and includes instructions about hooking up a Laser Diode Module Driver https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9/mcjgrbl2 If you have a GRBL-enabled arduino, or in fact anything that "talks" over the serial port of your PC
then using this kit of software, you can communicate with your device from Daz Studio This is for Windows PCs only ... unless someone can come up with a simple Terminal for Macs  ________________________________________________________________________ Installation
________________________________________________________________________ The installation zip packages can be found at the bottom of this web page in the attachments section The 2 important parts:
Typically it means: c:\program files\daz\studio\contents or C:\Program Files (x86)\DAZ\Studio\content or C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\ if installed properly, mcjGRBL.dsa will be accessible in Daz Studio in the contents tab as studio/scripts/mcasual/ or My Library/scripts/mCasual mcjComtty.zip contains mcjCommtty.exe and mcjCommtty.cpp the source code the easiest is to unzip this in YourDazContentLibrary/scripts/mCasual because by default that's where mcjGRBL will expect to find it but you can place it where you please!  ________________________________________________________________________ Version History
________________________________________________________________________ February 3rd 2018 7:07 pm Release
________________________________________________________________________ Requirements
________________________________________________________________________
- PC running Windows - An arduino or in fact anything that can send data to your PC through one of the COM ports  ________________________________________________________________________
Instructions________________________________________________________________________
Note that this script is mainly intended as a base
upon which daz script programmers can develop
The script does not detect the COM port your device uses
so get the COM port from, for example the Arduino IDE
launch mcjGRBL
set the com port and baud rate
if it's not already done, press the "Select Server" button and specify the location of mcjComtty.exe
press the "Start Server" button
You can use the "Type Here" field to send commands
There's also a "Send File" option compared to mcjTTY, i added some flow control/pacing, the script waits for an "ok" before sending the next line for tiny grbl files it worked fine  =================== The GRBL settings although you could use a command like "$0=1000 to set GRBL parameter 0 mcjGRBL obtains the list of parameters when you launch the script then when you select one of those parameters in the drop down-list you have the opportunity to change the value ( dont forget to click the 'set' button. After sending the command, the script obtains and renews the whole list
