SourceRabbit GCode Sender is a GRBL compatible, cross platform G-Code sender written in Java. It features a highly optimized and asynchronous (event-driven) UI and USB-to-Serial communication and can be also used on computers with small amount of RAM and CPU.

Note for MAC users: You may need to create a "/var/lock" directory with write permission. To do this open the Terminal application and run the following two commands:
sudo mkdir /var/lock
sudo chmod 777 /var/lock

Technical details:

• Compatible with GRBL v0.9 and above
• Uses JSSC for serial communication
• Event-Driven UI and USB-to-Serial communication
• Developed with NetBeans IDE
• To build you need to open the project in Netbeans and just... build

Goals:

• Provide a fast, accurate and easy to use software
• Support all GRBL CNC router and milling machines
• Can be used on computers with small amount of RAM and CPU.
