Free O’Reilly webcast: First steps with Arduino
In this webcast, Brian Jepson will introduce the basics of Arduino, the open source electronics prototyping platform. You’ll learn what Arduino is, where to get one, and how to connect electronic components to it. You’ll also learn how to write simple programs for Arduino. When you’re done, you’ll be ready to learn more, make more, and have fun prototyping.
Grbl, an Arduino-based g-code interpreter
It appears to be a mostly complete implementation of the g-code standard, written to run on an Atmega328-based Arduino.
