Thanks for the quick response.

In the meantime for anybody else running into issues with fusion 360 and G-sender using in line comments, you can side step the issue by doing two things.

  1. Change the post processor in fusion360 to use “;” before the comment and nothing after rather
    than “(” before and “)” after. This is done on line 167&168 of the pre-processor file.

  2. Modify G-Senders code to not replace M6 commands with inline comments. This can be done by modifying the index.js file found in “C:\Program Files\gSender\resources\app\server”. There are two lines of code that will need to be changed, 8395 and 8532.

Change 8395 from

          line = line.replace('M6', '(M6)');

to

          line = line.replace('M6', ';M6');

and change 8532 from

          line = '(M6)';

to

          line = ';M6';

Realistically this is a band aid rather than an actual fix as that will need to be done firmware side. Hopefully this helps others running into the same issue.
