Setup and configuration

Optional command line parameters:

-inifile <path to file>

<path to file> is the full path to the configuration file to use, default is to use App.config in the application folder. If the configuration file does not exist it will be created on first startup.

-language <language>

<language> is the language to use for Grbl settings and error mapping files. Default is en_US. Currently no other languages are supported.

-port <port>

<port> specifies which port to connect to on startup, some examples:

COM74:115200,N,8,1 - connect to serial port COM74 with explicit parameters.

The first parameter after the colon is the baud rate.
The second is the parity: N - None, E - Even, O - Odd, M - Mark, S - Space
The third is number of data bits and the fourth is number of stop bits.

COM74 - connect to serial port COM74 with default parameters 115200,N,8,1.

10.0.0.70:23 - connect to telnet port 23 at IP 10.0.0.70.

ws://10.0.0.70:80 - connect to websocket port 80 at IP 10.0.0.70.

-selectport

Select port to connect to on startup - currently only serial ports can be selected. Cannot be used in combination with -port.

Configuration file:

If not specified on the command line the configuration file App.config can be found in the application folder. This is a xml-file containing a number of configuration options for camera, gcode viewer, lathe mode and port to use for streaming.

A UI for editing these is on the todo list.
