This project came about when I worked for a company making their own CNC mill and lathe machines. We needed a program to simply upload files to our larger CNC machines making our metal parts. We searched for a simple solution, but the existing software/hardware products in the community were outdated and not user friendly.
- Choose serial communication parameters
- Save parameters per machine
- Edit CAM files before sending
- Save CAM files when needed
- Clear text fields when needed

The dependencies are JavaFX v17 and the external jars included in the "lib" folder.
The runnable jar file is located in the "input" folder
You can make an executable installer from my project using java's jpackage tool and the following CLI commands:
jlink --module-path "Your path to JavaFX-Mods-jars" --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH --output runtime
jpackage -t exe --name Serial-Communication --description "Serial communication program Author: Jeremy Tipton"
--app-version 1.0.0 --input input
--dest output --main-jar SerialComm.jar --win-shortcut --runtime-image runtime
You can also download the executable file in the output folder labeled SerialComm-1.0.0.exe to install the program
If you just want to run the program from the executable jar in the "input" folder you can use the command:
java -jar --module-path "YOUR PATH TO\javafxsdk17.0.0.1\lib" --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH SerialComm.jar
