Hi xpix,

* Editing Gcode is already possible. Just change the Settings->Program un-check read-only in general settings.
* Adding a font settings is in the list of enchantments, But you could change the code in editor.py under InitUI function of class gcsGcodeStcStyledTextCtrl.

Hello xpix,
I am working on a project that requires getting co-ordinates of the pcb from an camera in real time for drilling purpose using Ubuntu OS. So how could I go on with the same. I am all new to this and would be thankful if you help,

Thanks

* There is now a G-code msg dialog which allows to change tool and continue program.

1.5.0 Changelog

* Added support for TinyG2.

* Added PAUSE state, tool-bar button and menu item, in pause state run time continues.
* Added machine setting for Grbl, TinyG, or TinyG2.
* Added machine setting for initialization script, useful to send setup commands after device connect detect.
* Added machine run time status.
* Added machine Auto Status request setting (mainly for Grbl not needed with TinyG(2)).
* Consolidated Link and Machine setting panels (require a one time reconfiguration of port and baud when upgrading from old version).
* Added jog settings to auto update from machine status.
* Added jog settings to auto request update from machine after jog set operation that don't normally generate verbose information, like set to zero or set to job values.
* Added jog custom button support for scripts.
* Removed second set of XYZ coordinates and enlarge the reminding for ease of view at a distance.
* Updated G-Code message dialog, it is now treated as entering PAUSE state (run time continues).
* Fixed bug with missing variable "serialBaud" not found when changing settings while serial port was open.
* Fixed bug with File->Open being enabled while RUN state was active.
* Fixed multiple UI issues with Mac OS X
* Moved decode of status string processing to program exec thread, this will help UI from becoming temporarily unresponsive.

wlanfox,

Thanks for your great work! I've been looking for a grbl controller that had a built-in webcam interface so that I can zero the work piece without using an external software align it and offset the tool manually. Your software is perfect!

Hello
Does the program work on Windows 10 If yes, what are the steps to work with me?
