    Gyday Guys
    i have another question ?? its been a while.
    can this black box run offline, its a great product , i have 2. but i need a transportable machine, not PC controlled , come on guys put some thought to this to make the Black Box the best!! there are some GRBL offline controllers out there.
    others have done this to Marlin, too complicated for me at 78. hate andrino.
    Have i got your attention .
    Lloyd

    Not at this time as a finished solution, but there is an AUX serial port, if you have arduino skills you could build a sender our of a seperate arduino, sd shield, etc:

    What kinds of 'sender' are we talking about here?

    I mess with all sorts of Arduino based projects... (although none of them are CNC related).. but the comment sparked my interest.
