Creates .nc files optimized for GRBL based Openbuilds-style machines. Supports router and laser operations.
This fork is to support a pen plotter in addition to the main router - it asks the user for X-Y offsets between the router and the pen, detects if a toolpath with WCS2 / G55 is used, and if so, includes a G10 line that sets the G55 zeros to the G54 zero plus the offsets.
vG1.0 does the above.
V1.0.25 supports plasma torch touchoff probing.
- Read the instructions
V1.0.21 now supports plasma cutting
V1.0.20 supports the Personal license restrictions and ultra long comments
V1.0.18 now includes laser operations.
- Laser mode supports lasers with and without Z motions.
- It is left to the operator to correctly set GRBL parameter $32 as needed on a machine that combines a router and laser head.
- The laser is regarded as an extra tool so when posting multiple operations the router code and laser code will be in seperate output .gcode files (exactly as for multiple tool outputs, each tool in its own file).
- Laser power is scaled between 0 and 1000 (GRBL spindle RPM defaults).
You can edit this post to cater for non-default settings. Refer to the 'calcPower' function.
