Working CNCJS with S5Pro

GSender is a cool project, but it has also won’t work with the S5Pro. I also prefer a web-based software that I can use from my office, then just go out to the workshop and press “play”. It looks like Gsender is mostly a thick client.

If you want to use GSender with the S5Pro, you can make the same changes I made to CNCJS, here:

                  // More aggressive updating of spindle modals for safety
                  const spindleCommand = _.intersection(words, ['M3', 'M4'])[0];
                  if (spindleCommand) {
                      this.updateSpindleModal(spindleCommand);
                  }
          
                  // // M6 Tool Change
                  if (_.includes(words, 'M6')) {
                      log.debug('M6 Tool Change');
                      this.feeder.hold({ data: 'M6', comment: commentString }); // Hold reason
                      line = line.replace('M6', '(M6)');
                  }
          
                  return line;
              }
          });
          this.feeder.on('data', (line = '', context = {}) => {
              if (this.isClose()) {
                  log.error(`Serial port "${this.options.port}" is not accessible`);
                  return;
              }
