g2coreGUI stared when i tried to find an offline g-code sender that could be used with my Arduino Due running g2core.
I did manage to find several different potential candidates, but at the time they all seemed to have different problems, ranging from not seeming to be able to connect to the g2core to weird graphical/UI issues.
g2coreGUI is currently not supposed to be a general g-code sender.
Rather is supposed to be a specific tool only supporting the g2core.
PROS of this:
- Only one communication protocol to support and get 100% stable.
- Allowed to use any special feature found in g2core, as we don't have to care about how to implement it on other controllers
CONS
- Should g2core ever stop being developed this GUI also becomes obsolete.
- Targets a smaller portion of the CNC community thereby also has less potential developers
- Universal Gcode Sender often simply referred to as UGS. Java based
- GOKO another Java based UI.
- cncjs a nodejs (javascript) based UI, I haven't acutally tried this yet.
- node-g2core-api technically not a UI, but does include a command line tool for sending g-code to a g2core.
- chilipeppr not offline but seems to be quite popular and can supposedly be manually repackaged to be offline.
