REQUIREMENTS
1. Android 8.0 or above, with Bluetooth or USB OTG support
2. GRBL 1.1f or above
3. A Bluetooth module like HC-05 or HC-06, already paired with the phone, or a USB OTG adapter
NOTES
1. For help, please use GitHub. I cannot give support in Play Store comments.
2. When you connect a Bluetooth module to your machine for the first time, set its baud rate to 115200 (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). This is the default baud rate of GRBL 1.1.
3. USB OTG works only with a GRBL baud rate of 115200.
4. To run jobs in the background without problems, turn off battery optimisation for this app.
5. The app does not trim decimal places, remove unsupported G-codes, or expand canned drill cycles or M06.
