Hi Guys,
How do you recommend sending the gcode to the firmware through a specific COM port? (I am using Windows 7 and C#)
Is the Write(string) method in the SerialPort class the most appropriate?
Many thanks,
Arthur

That'll work, I use:

port.Write (line+"\n");

Thanks bobc, is it something like:

port.Write("g28"+"\n");

port.Write("g28+\n");
