💖 CANDLE(1) 💖

okay so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's all about candle. bestie, pull up a chair 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

candle — GRBL controller application with G-Code visualizer

like. it talks to your GRBL machine AND it shows you the G-Code. both. at once. iconic behavior fr fr 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

candle [gcode-filename]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional filename, sitting there, waiting for you 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so candle is a Qt-based application, which is the fancy way of saying it's got a whole pretty graphical interface, and what it does is control GRBL devices. and when we say GRBL devices we mean, like:

  • laser cutters 🔥
  • routers
  • 3d printers

no cap. all three. it's giving "one app to run all your maker toys" and honestly? we're obsessed 💅

⭐ COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ⭐

so there's really just one thing to know here and it's lowkey the cutest:

  • if you pass a filename on the command line, candle will load it at startup

that's the whole thing. hand it a file, it opens the file. simple. elegant. main character energy 🌈

💜 AUTHOR 💜

candle was written by Hayrullin Denis Ravilevich. and this manpage? written for the Debian system by Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>. give them their flowers 💐

and that's a wrap bestie!! this page came to you straight from the candle manpage, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, no date stamp on it so don't come for me 🙈 — go make something cute, and remember: always vibe check your laser cutter before you hit start 💖✨
