Hi,
New to most of this, but been messinf with a small 30x40 machine with a basic GRBL controller on it and now doing some mods to beef the machine up part of which will be a new controller that works with stepper drivers.
Root controller looks great, but this FluidNC scares the hell out of me !
been used to using the $ commands to set things up and needed to know if it can be flashed with GRBL or GRBLHAL instead of Fluid NC reading as much as i ca, can’t find an answer, hope someone can help here
Hey.
So Fluidnc is GRBL under the hood with some additional features.
The controller can run either Fluidnc or GRBLhal and NOT the base version of GRBL that was design for the Atmega devices.
The $ route somewhat changes with the newer version and most of those configurations are done in a text file that is loaded to the controller.
My good friend Myles has a good video on how to get started; https://youtu.be/RSuW-UMqJsY?si=iReKvA0WhX47uBLT&t=837
which is a great place to start!
