Arduino and G-code interpreter
This time, I will explain the Arduino and the G-code interpreter. Learn more about what an Arduino is, what a G-code interpreter is, and how they work together.
What is Arduino
Arduino is an open source electronic platform that includes both hardware and software. Arduino is widely used as a tool for controlling physical devices such as sensors and actuators.
What is G-Code
G-code is a common language for controlling CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. G-code is a lightweight, easy-to-parse format, designed to run on the most modest hardware (Arduino in this case). G-code is pre-prepared and created from a digital design file (CAD file).
Combination of Arduino and G-code interpreter
By combining Arduino with a G-code interpreter, it becomes possible to control a CNC machine using Arduino. Arduino interprets G-code and controls physical devices based on it.
In order to interpret G-code with Arduino, a G-code parser library is required. This library is a lightweight tool for collecting lines of G-code and parsing them. Arduino uses this library to parse the G-code and control the device based on it.
This is the basic information about Arduino and the G-code interpreter. How about starting a project to control your own CNC machine using these tools?
