#usbfoamcutter #grbl
Following up on my last video on troubleshooting and questions I said I would see if I could get some later firmware to work the controller program. After some long hours and lots of testing, I am glad to say the "GRBL Hotwire Controller" now works with grblMega5X firmware.

Plans to build the foam cutter are $3 with a free ebook https://rckeith.co.uk/downloads/usbf...

So in this video, I'll show you how to install and configure the updated firmware and software for the USB CNC Foam Cutter.
Here is a list of new features and fixes for GRBL HotWire Mega 5X

Limit Switches/EndStops now supported
G93 Inverse Time mode supported
Running latest GRBL firmware adapted by Gauthier Brière https://github.com/fra589
Connect/Rescan buttons issue fixed on older laptops
Gcode developed in Jedicut now displays correctly
Bad number format error message has gone.
GUI has been reworked slightly for CNC foam cutting
