Total Newbie here...

[twiztidsarge]

Good day all. I am new here, and new to CNC. I have been toying around with the idea of buying one for a few years now, and finally decided that I would check it out. That said, I didn't just jump into this all willy-nilly without having an idea of what I was getting involved with, but apparently I didn't do enough research. The machine I purchased has not arrived yet, but that has not stopped me from getting ahead of the game and learning how to use the software required to use previously stated machine... That said, I cannot, for the life of me, get the Grbl software!!! I have searched high and low, in and out of several websites, without any luck. Can (would) someone help me please? I have Fusion 360, and am getting pretty good with it, but this does me zero good without the latter Grbl... Again, please. And Thank you. That is all...

GRBL runs in the Arduino. It is the control software that reads G-Code. There isn't anything to install for GRBL on a PC except a G-Code sender software. e.g.: Universal G-Code Sender (UGS), bCNC, Grbl-Panel, Grbl Controller.

Does your machine use a grbl controller?  If so, Fusion produces the g-code to mill your models with your machine in the CAM section - that's where you get your g-code.
