I use the Universal GCode Sender. It was the one on the instructions when I built the S2.

I thought that was what this was all about.

Okay, I don't see why it makes a difference to the intent of the poll -- you count ChiliPeppr and Easel as a vote for "internet required", and everything else as a vote for "no internet required", and spelling it out should not make a difference -- but I put it back, because it was not polite of me to barge in and edit Will's poll.

@cvoinescu : Will solved this issue by starting a new poll based on this question. I don't think matters what this poll says at this point. Thanks though.

Two new programs to try:

- https://github.com/cody82/grblgui
- https://github.com/Denvi/grblControl

Anything else we need to find?

Thanks Will, GRBLcontrol looks neat!

I just tried to use it but it looks like Grbl doesn't finish booting, because when I try to jog, nothing happens. If i close it and open Universal G-code Sender, the CNC moves fine.

Any suggestion?

The wrong baud rate setting can cause that. The correct setting for GRBL 0.9x with the default configuration is 115,200.

Thanks, but it´s set up at 115200. (It´s the same in UGS afaik). Is anyone getting it to work? I'm on Linux Mint Rafaela. I'm in the dialout group already (same for UGS also). I don't have to compile anything right, just download the tar.gz, extract and double click on grblctrl? Is it possible i have some dependencies/librairies missing? Thanks.

Hi Will,

can you add Estlcam to the poll?

Compared to GRBL it has some additional features like Xbox360 gamepad support and feed override.
