I got a separate 12Vx5A supply to run peripherals like case fans and the converter. Putting everything into a metal case with the controller sitting on the top. I ...

I use QCAD/CAM for most of my CNC jobs. It works well for me, but the set of post processors is limited. So, I need to basically adapt one of the existing ones to this controller. My question is: what gcode dialect most closely resembles the one used by this box? The two main ones that QCAD supports...
