I have need to parse a gcode file and I'd like to do it in Python. It seems that wheel must have already been invented and I'd rather not reinvent it. I got the source for grecode, written in c++. I could adapt from that but I think it would be overkill for the simple task I'm trying to do.
I'm new to Emc2, but catching on. The machine is a knee mill that will require manual gear changes. What I want to do is write a filter to parse a gcode file for spindle speed settings, and when found, insert M100 Pn Sxxx (where n is the needed gear setting, and xxx is the motor speed for that gear). During a run, another program named M100 (already written in python) will prompt the operator to change the gears according to n. Anyone know of Python code that will parse gcode, at least well enough for this simple task? Any other comments are welcome, such as "can't get there from here." Thanks.
