    Universal G-Code Sender

    Universal G-Code Sender

    A cross-platform G-Code sender for GRBL, Smoothieware, etc.

    A full-featured gcode platform used for interfacing with advanced CNC controllers like GRBL , TinyG, g2core and Smoothieware. Universal Gcode Sender is a self-contained Java application that includes all external dependencies and can be used on most computers running Windows, MacOSX or Linux. With older versions of GRBL UGS is pretty reliable when it comes to jogging, but there are limitations. With GRBL 1.1 this is no longer the case when using the new JOG MODE syntax. This first-class jog mode guarantees the GCODE state will be unaltered and also allows you to stop a jog while it is in progress. UGS uses this new syntax automatically when it detects a version of GRBL which supports it.

    PHPMailer

    PHPMailer

    The classic email sending library for PHP

    PHPMailer – A full-featured email creation and transfer class for PHP. Support for UTF-8 content and 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encodings. SMTP authentication with LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, and XOAUTH2 mechanisms over SMTPS and SMTP+STARTTLS transports. Validates email addresses automatically. Many PHP developers need to send email from their code. The only PHP function that supports this directly is mail(). However, it does not provide any assistance for making use of popular features such as encryption, authentication, HTML messages, and attachments. Formatting email correctly is surprisingly difficult. There are myriad overlapping (and conflicting) standards, requiring tight adherence to horribly complicated formatting and encoding rules – the vast majority of code that you'll find online that uses the mail() function directly is just plain wrong, if not unsafe!
