I would like to be able to control TinyG using Mach 3. Any chance of a plugin for Mach 3 or other solution? TinyG is a great little controller but with no decent software it's just a toy. tgFX had promise but was cancelled.
Chilipeppr is not much better. We need to be able use Mach 3 or an equivalent.
TinyG Mach3
Hi Christine,
Could you perhaps describe the top 3 to 5 things about ChiliPeppr to get it to be workable like Mach 3 is for CNC work? I think this type of feedback would help the community get tools like ChiliPeppr closer to what folks really want/need.

Well, I'm not Christine, but I'd have to say offline use is the number one thing i'm looking for in ChiliPeppr.
The computer I use for sending commands to the TinyG and CNC machine doesn't get connected to the internet. Its a very common configuration with people running CNC machines.
I agree also that Internet requirement is more of a minus then plus.
Chilipeppr Offline use would be huge. My internet provider isn't the most reliable..
Ditto the internet is a major minus. the other is that their isn't a spindle speed override in CP and that for me when I press feedhold I have to wait for the buffer to empty despite having the two com port drivers installed. waiting for one command is bad enough 32 is just horrible.
Has there ever been an answer for the original question? Using Mach3 with Tinyg?
