GRBL simulator

[tommeyers]

Does anyone know of a GRBL simulator.

I imagine it presenting a serial port that I can connect to from laser grbl and watch the laser move on my screen. No smoke, no need to move to different work area, ...

I don't like my current workflow of repeat forever: (f360 on PC at desk -> laserGrbl -> laser cutter at work area)

I would prefer repeat forever: (F60 PC at desk -> laser grbl -> simulatator at desk) ---> laser cutter

Of course a simulator is not a necessity and at this point it is just an idea and as I improve my process ( I am awkward right now in my workflow) it might not be necessary. F360 will simulate operations but not gcode.

Thanks, Tom

https://camotics.org/ may help you out.. it doesn't seem to have a 'laser' option so just shows travel but that's still useful when there's "whitespace".
