Hi Bertho . First of all I would say to you thank you . Your project seems to be useful especially for a general purpose LCNC application like material handling or non machine tool specific application. For example a palletizer or a cartesian robot for machine tool feeding. The best of all as someone already point it out is to have an alternative interpreter embedded into LCNC . On some CNC controllers (motion controllers) for "general purpose" application this kind of interpreter is available (i.e. robot controller). I will follow your project with high interest . I know that LCNC at the beginning was created for machine tool application. But as we know now it is used for 3D printers and other applications that are far from a machine tool. This is the force of LCNC .... it is open .
