LinuxCNC supports pluggable interpreters. It is entirely possible to run it with code other than conventional G-code. There is only one example pluggable interpreter in the standard distribution, and that uses input files looking like: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/configs/sim/axis/canterp_example.can There has been sporadic interest in writing a STEP-NC interpreter, but I don't think it has ever got very far. It is easy to imagine writing interpreters for Gerber or position (pick and place) files, though. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
