Simple G-Code Generator

Hello Erik!
Tried your console version of multiline text2 gcode converter, works beautifully in linuxCNC emulated mode (have no HW interface for my Mori Seiki Junior yet but might build an interface sooner or later, depends on how long my FANUC 10M controller remains in shape...) So my question is: How do I create code for my 10M? It takes simple ISO, no advanced macro and/or program logic in the code afaik...
Greetings /Roger

Hi Roger,
all object modules create g-code without subroutines except the subroutine module. So the resulting code might work with your 10M.
btw: just uploaded the latest version 3.6.0.

Ok, thanks Erik, I'll try that asap and will bring back what happens!

You may also like gcmc from GCMC Meta-compiler
It takes some getting your head round, but it's a complete scripting language for specifying paths, and can output G-code, DXF and SVG from the same script, selected by command line flag. There's even a Windows version!

Ok Erik, you can add tested on Ubuntu10.04/LinuxCNC ver 2.5, seem to be working ok when I get the G-code up and running, Your integration seem to work fine, loads the code directly into AXIS, I tried text and circular pocket. just minor bugs, AXIS complained about unfound gcode-terminator character(%) Solved by integrating into postamble, I also think the same character should precede the code according to standard. That gives user the opportunity to store entire libraries in ońe file or a program with subroutines, Sorry for diverging from subject!
I will try the code on FANUC 10M, I know I will have to modify the code regading your HELIX move who is not activated on my machine, FANUC wants money for that, but I know how to fix it anyway but the holy rule is: Don't fiddle with a working system! So I leave helix for now. Great job Erik, I'll come back with some video on your code in action IRL!

Thanks for your suggestion rotwang, I tried it and it is indeed interesting, might come back with some experiences from that package too! / Roger

Thanks for your feedback Roger! LCNC 2.7 does not complain about the missing "%". I added it now to improve the compatibility anyway.
Waiting for the video...

Its been quite meany years now but I wonder if anyone has got these handy little tools working on a more recent version on Python3.x ?

I guess these old tools are not in use any more.
I want to generate G-code for a simple engravings using single stroke font. Could anyone point me in the right direction of some simple and free program/script that can do that?
