Manual Control

Hi guys,

I’m wishing to re-purpose the K8200 as a movable test arm. What’s the simplest approach to control the X,Y,Z movement and turn-off printer-related behaviour?

Ideally I’m looking for simple commands I can send over the serial port.

Many thanks

You could send g-code commands directly via the serial connection.
Your software then only has to put the correct parameter string together.
