Processing Code CNC For Arduino Meg2560 or UnoR3

This document contains code for controlling a CNC machine via serial communication. It allows selecting a serial port, streaming G-code files to control machine movement, and sending individual gcode commands via keyboard inputs. The code opens the selected serial port, draws a GUI, and handles keyboard inputs to send gcode commands or select files for streaming gcode line-by-line to the serial port.
