In July 2020, I released Hot Wire GrblMega 5X Software using a version of Gauthier Brière firmware I made some minor changes to suit 4axis foam cutting. This has been received very well; to date, there have been nearly 7000 downloads of the firmware and software.
So why have I released this new version?
New Features requested by users
Adjusting the hot wire current on a running gob
Adjusting the feed rate on a running job
Support for 32bit boards running a grblHAL
This software I’ve called grbl Hotwire and still works with the Arduino Megabased boards.
