Tell me more about this please. It is not mentioned in the pdf dox I get
from master yet.
Well, it is NOT part of LinuxCNC. See :
http://pico-systems.com/gcode.html
for info on some of these. I really ought to update this
page with all of my newest programs.
I've added a few more, with ramp-down and a program to cut
ovals with half-circle round ends to the slots. There are
old DOS executables for these, as well as very generic C source.
I have converted one of my programs to Python, and got it to
give identical output to the C program. But, I'm not fully
up to speed on Python, so have not converted the rest, yet.
These do not start the spindle, so you have to edit them all
manually. I often stitch together 10 - 30 of these
individual features to make a complete program, starting the
spindle at the desired speed in the beginning, and removing
all M02 lines except the last one.
