Could you build this?
Partial While the mobile UI is straightforward, handling real-time CNC hardware streaming, serial buffer management, and live 3D toolpath rendering requires embedded and CNC domain expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires a mobile app (Flutter/Kotlin/Swift) interfacing with CNC firmware via USB-OTG, Bluetooth SPP, and Wi-Fi/Telnet protocols. It requires building a fault-tolerant serial streaming buffer that tracks GRBL feed-hold, status reports, and error recovery in real time, alongside an OpenGL/Vulkan parser to render large multi-megabyte G-code 3D toolpaths efficiently on mobile devices.
