Thank you. Understood how to do it. figured out how to write g-code. It takes the speed prescribed in the filter Feedrate=1 . But you can not make it so that he would take the initial speed from the g-code (Feedrate = 250.0000) ?

It should be reading the feedrate from the file:
    Ff = re.match(r".*F\s*([\d\.,]+)", line)
    if Ff:
        Fn = re.match(r".*(?=( F|F))", line)

 ...

    if Ff:
        feedrate = float(Ff.group(1))

So I encountered the same problem and the script, with some modifications did the trick for me. In this thread, I found two other versions by Andy and Alex.

Some stuff that I fixed in my version:
Andy's didn't do any thing with rapids/G00
Both didn't parse negative coords correctly
Alex's didn't handle XYUV correctly in calculating distances. My version may not handle other letter configurations
My version fixed these, though I may have broken things for non-XYUV
I also added some output comments for debuggability:
(XYdist=5.0 UVdist=272.5 1/F93*60=81.75 seconds)
G01 X0.000 Y20.244 U267.500 V20.244 F0.733945


My version is attached.

:-)

What does it need to do with rapids?

Both didn't parse negative coords correctly


But that's rather embarrassing. The regex should be ([\d,.+-]) to accept digits, signs and both decimal point variants.

It should not delete them. :-) Not particularly important. mine only had a very short one at the beginning.

The the regex, a friend told me a joke recently.
My program had a bug that was easily fixed with a regex.
Now it has two problems.

I like putting backslashes on . + and -. Kudos for supporting the German style decimals (using commas). I've always thought that is kinda goofy.

unless you intended to support numbers like 1,000,000 though I don't know that that would be valid gcode.

I'll stop rambling

It is absolutely necessary to escape -, I had forgotten that. Otherwise it defines a range of characters, in the example above it simply doesn't match - but if it had been written [\d.,-+] it would be matching anything bettween , and +. It does no harm to escape the others and might be wise for compatibility with future parsers.

I like to test my Regexes at regexr.com
Here is an example of eccentrically written G-code and the expression needed to parse it.

I just ran into this issue. I previously only used my 4th to do gears with hand written subroutines.

I setup the script mmccoo posted as I assumed it was the last best version. It doesn't actually work, not with the output from FreeCAD or at least not with an XYZA machine. All of the G93s are overridden by G94s. Anyone know how to fix it? Files are attached, had to cut them down to attach here.

Also, I setup the PROGRAM_EXTENSION for an extension .ngcrot. Gmoccapy's file browser will not pick this up. Not sure if something is coded into Gmoccapy to only accept .ngc or what. I had to start LinuxCNC with the file to get it to load.

I don't know for sure that Gmoccapy supports filter files. It might be an Axis feauture.

Any idea what's up with the G94/93 output? I realized the Gcode from Freecad is only working with ~7deg on the A axis which is weird but hopefully I can get that fixed cuz I can't find any other 4th axis CAM that runs on Linux
