GCODE Step and Alignment Tool

[WillAdams]

Maybe this helps. I found this GRBL Streamer, he has a visalizer in python/opengl. I guess (im perl developer) the class "class drawgcode(MyCanvasBase)" visualize the gcode. Maybe we can recycle this?

Heck, I'm a (La)TeX guy --- I'd be happy w/ gcode2pdf (I found eps which would be okay if I could get it compiled) or gcode2<fooimage>.

I'd still like a nice IDE w/ a pre-processor which would allow loops and variables, but arguably, that's FreeCAD, just not as direct as I'd like.

Not a bad idea... at the moment I use http://openscam.com/ to visuallize the GCODE... but yes actually seeing the GCODE as your stepping trough each line would be way more nicer.

Did you get a change to play with it for your PCBs? how did it go?

No i dont play with this I just found this and maybe we can use a part of code "class drawgcode(MyCanvasBase)" in your GCS as gcode visualizer?

I took a peek at this project, the only issue is that is GPLv3 I was original going to go with BSD and then decided on GPLv2 not sure I like to bring GLP v3 in and all the restrictions....

I understand, i found anothe pice of python software to display gcode in 3D.
Very intresting and has GLP v2, but more complex. Maybe is intresting for us:

Hi,

i used GSA now as my standard tool on a win7 machine and have some topix:

- i can't save my configuration. After every start i have to input data for my camera and the right serial port.
- Cambam save all gcode files with suffix nc. Can we add this in the file open dialog?

At the end ... a great tool, i will never miss this

Hi xpix,

This will point to non of the stetting being save at all, is there maybe a users permission problem? The configuration is saved to file on exit.
1.0.0 is now an old version from my PoV, do you mind trying the latest and see if the problem still exits I have changed quite a few things (mostly UI, adding gCODE syntax highlighting, and separating code in modules for better scalability). I am not ready to resale 1.1.0 yet but very close... never the less on version 1.0.0 I tested the configuration gets saved in Windows and Linux, even deleted the .gcs (Linux) or gcs.ini (Windows) to test default values are correct. This file should be in you home directory in windows 7 is c:\users\<username>.

I also just added code to save the configuration not only on exit but also when you click the OK button in the settings Dialog.

with regards to the extensions, "*.nc" is one of the ones I set. But i think it is a pull down to select the type. Yes I just double check on windows at the bottom next to the file name it says "ncg (*.ncg)" and that is a pull-down button; "nc (*.nc)" is the second option.

gWILDCARD = \
"ngc (*.ngc)|*.ngc|" \
"nc (*.nc)|*.nc|" \
"gcode (*.gcode)|*.gcode|" \
"All files (*.*)|*.*"


Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, all problems are gone that i delete the old file gcs.ini. Now gcs save everything. Thanks!!
