Universal G-code Platform (UGS) is a versatile, cross-platform G-code sender designed for CNC control. It provides a robust interface to communicate with various firmware like GRBL, TinyG, and Smoothieware, allowing users to stream G-code files directly to their machines. The tool features a visualizer to preview toolpaths and supports advanced functions like macro scripting and coordinate system management.
Key Features:
  • Real-time G-code streaming and visualizer
  • Support for GRBL, TinyG, g2core, and Smoothieware
  • Plugin architecture for custom extensions
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Java-based)
Use Cases:
  • Controlling DIY CNC machines and 3D printers via a PC
  • Visualizing and validating G-code before machining
  • Automating repetitive tasks with custom macros
Alternatives:
  • Candle – Specifically optimized for GRBL 1.1, whereas UGS offers broader firmware support.
  • Pronterface – Legacy interface primarily for 3D printing, while UGS focuses on general CNC workflows.
