Preview Job without CNC

Machines (Original/PRO) Controller (Buildbotics) Discussion

Hi everyone, I am in a boat that I believe alot of other people are. We are months away from receiving our CNC and are using this time to design and learn and program some projects.

When you have the CNC you can connect to the controller via wifi and preview the Job.

Is it possible to do this on a simulator before receiving the actual OF? My hopes are to prove out my Gcode and the GRBL post from Solidworks Cam?

Thanks!

Oh Thats really interesting! I was particularly hoping to be able to run in on a OF program simulator. But would that work the same?

Download camotics. It is the same base code and developed buy the buildbotics folks. Should be the closest to reality.
