About G-Pilot

G-Pilot is a GRBL/uCNC/FluidNC controller application with a built-in G-code visualizer, written in Qt.

The project started as a fork of the Candle experimental branch. The main goal is to add joystick and game controller support and gradually modernize the codebase.

Goals

• Provide a comfortable, modern GUI for hobby and semi‑professional CNC users
• Make joystick / joypad control a first-class feature
• Keep the application cross‑platform where possible
• Refactor the legacy code into clear, testable modules

Project status

G-Pilot is under active development and considered a preview/prerelease. Some parts are stable and usable every day, while others are still changing.

Feedback, issue reports and pull requests are welcome.
