Would the ouput of the interpreter be input to this?: > - libcutsim (stock-model, cutting ops, surface-extraction/update) > - ui (AXIS has g-code preview, play/pause/stop buttons, etc). If so, what should that data contain? (If not fully defined yet, what might one sample require, roughly?) I only ask because work on a human-readable to gcode translator is progressing quite satisfactorily, and it seems kinda useful for the input to the simulator to be also available as LinuxCNC gcode, so we can machine with it. If the interpreter provides output in both forms, that is achieved. Erik P.S. Why not "write a new g-code parser/interpreter"? It is as relaxing as sudoku, and twice as entertaining. ;-) (It does admittedly take up a lot of time to do the whole language.) -- Never tell people how to do things.
