  •    Custom command send button.
    1. Short Click: Sends the custom command typed in the text box to grbl
    2. Long Click: Clears the console message window.
NOTES:
  1. Not all messages from grbl are printed to console interface.
  2. Currently you can only see recent 128 entries in the console logger, this is done to reduce the memory consumption of the application.
  3. Sometimes custom command input box and send button    will not appear, then you need to click on any other tabs except the "probing tab " and come back again.
  4. Custom command will be parsed before sending to grbl, parser will remove any white space or comments and will capitalize the letters.
  5. Depending on the custom command you are sending application may also send some additional commands like "$G or $#" to get the recent status of the machine.
