I have a real quick question. Does the tiny g accept .nc files through chilipeppr?

The Gcode generator I normally use outputs .nc files, worked 6 months ago, have not run anything recently.
If you drag your file.nc onto Chilipepper,does the Gcode appear in the Gcode widget? If so, you are good to go.

Keep in mind that tinG never really 'sees' the file name. It is the content of the file that is transferred to tinyG.
That content should be Gcode text.

I is always a good idea to check the contents of your files with a text editor, when using new Gcode generators.
If the file.nc is binary, it can overwrite your tinyG FW and brick it.
