Inkscape can open ai files (not sure about eps). It can also be made to produce
g-code. (sort of) Corel Draw can open both.
I don't know of any way to go sraight to g-code like a filter. I don't think
I'd want to either. I wouldn't trust it. I like seeing my tool paths in the
cam programs I us

Hi everybody;
Do we have a translator program that can make gcode out of an .eps?
Or an .ai, presumably from some gfx proggy that runs on a Mac.
Thanks.

Thanks andy. They're all valid questions. I have found that a MDI move will
stop short if I switch to Manual before it's done. Also there could be
contention for the arrow keys. I'll try to see what Touchy does different than
Axis.

If you MDI a long move then try to jog, should the system follow the
move or the jog?
This might be the logic. I am not sure if it is great logic.
Touchy jogs just fine in

Is there an important reason why linuxCNC ignores a pendant while in MDI mode?
I find that I'm always forgetting to switch back to Manual Control after
selecting a tool in MDI. Is it possible to have LCNC pay attention to the
pendant in MDI?
Thanks,

I use Step/Dir servo controllers with a 5i25 configured to use stepgens.
The encoder feedback run back to linuxcnc. Linuxcnc watches for following
error and faults if it gets out of hand. My results have been great so far.
It's a bit of a pain to load up tuner software to tune the drivers

Hey guys,
Was looking into using a Step/Dir servo solution. It's possible to send the
encoder info back to linuxcnc to complete the control loop to linuxcnc. My
question is, how do you
configure Linux CNC in this case?
Do you configure it as a step/dir like a stepper setup and somehow read t

It can't.
It seems that someone needs to run through the examples
The starting point of arc is X0 Y0 (previous line is G0 X0 Y0). How
