    Cool GRBLGRU INCH G CODE AND G02/G03

    Hello, I'm new here. My question:
    1, Is it possible to output Inch G code with GRBLGRU?
    2, Can GRBLGRU output G02 and G03 ?

    Thank you

    Regards
    Mel R

    To 1.
    The GCode calculated by GrblGru in the automatic mode is always generated in metric format. However, with the macros you can also program GCode in imperial format. I don't know your use case, but maybe the macros can help you with that.
    Have a look at the video below.

    Re 2.
    GrblGru can also generate G2/G3 commands. However, this is only done in individual cases, because with projections or when using 4/5 axis, circles quickly become ellipses, which can no longer be mapped in this way. Today, current controllers can also quickly process polygonal traverses.
    Here again the reference to the macros. Of course you can use G2/G3 command.

    Thank you. This helps. I can convert G code text from metric to inches after posting out but needed to ask if it could output directly.

    Wouldn't a G20 or G21 in the program header deal with this?

    If your controller understands the commands this will of course work. But I assumed that melrod has a controller that can't do that.
