I got the humor (although it's been a while since I wrote FORTRAN, and I never wrote in FORTRAN++ :) , and yes, it does look like it could be fixed up with a simple cut and paste. Even I can manage to understand this "gui" C code! I may make a 3D version of keystick just to have something light-weight to print with, but the more I think about it (and the more I dig around in the interpreter/motion interface), the more I think I should just tie a pipe straight between the (stupid simplistic 3D printer GCode) and the motion queue, basically going back to "drip feed" and using something like octo-print to spool the data: http://octoprint.org/ It's not a pretty solution, but it would make LCNC a lot more attractive to a lot of main-stream 3D folks, silly as it might sound. Yes, I'd be throwing away a lot of fancy gcode interpretation, but the slicing programs only output G1 (and sometimes G0) moves anyway, with the occasional G92 reset of the extruder axis to keep the numbers small. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net
