MonoKrom - QtPyVCP GUI for PlasmaC and Mill

Hello Rodw,

I’m also using the Plasmac post from SheetCam. I followed your advice and changed the SheetCam setting to output .ngc instead of .tap. Unfortunately, as long as the Monokrom filter is enabled, it doesn’t work—I get the error:

“unknown word where unary operation could be.”

This happens both on my actual machine and with the Monokrom simulation configuration. With QtPlasmaC, I don’t have any issues. Maybe over the weekend I can share a G-code test file that fails for me.

Is there a way to manually apply the Monokrom filter plasma_gcode_preprocessor to a G-code file outside of Monokrom, just to see what the output looks like?

I can't help here. I had a feeling that a linuxcnc filter was a program that accepted an input file and wrote out an output file so you should be able to run the filter stand alone. The file name will be in the ini file. ref:.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/filter-programs.html
