basically, they are called on command line level, and output some gcode on
the standard output stream, if I understand correctly.
There is also a second idea of having a filter menu, that gives calls
individual programs with one parameter, i.e. the file name of the currently
opened gcode, and expec

Filters are programs that get a file name on the command
Thanks for all the info! Great stuff. Stephen. You talked about Filters
able to be ran when loading files. I think this is a good place for me to
look into. Is there any documentation on writing filters?
Thanks,

Stephen,
I agree, that EMC and associated software can do a GREAT DEAL more than
just interpret and display g-code, but Riley seems to be a 'rookie'
just trying
to understand the basics of EMC architecture and use. Knowing all the hooks
are there is great, but right now he appears to n
A common ATmega8, e.g. in an Arduino board, is regularly used for gcode
interpretation on RepRaps and Makerbots. They can even load gcode from SD
cards.
However, I don't know if they are able to interpret [ ] or <> expressions,
or even loops.
Still, using axis as a gui might be beneficial, as if ha

AXIS has the ability to run "filters" while loading files, so if someone

Riley,
As mark said, EMC3 does not generate G-code from CAD files.
Axis is a display interface for EMC for the machine operator.
You need another program like pycam (see sourceforge.org) or cambam
(cambam.co.uk)
or others to load in CAD files like DXF or STL files, and generate
g-code (r
What you're seeing is AXIS loading a G code file,
not a dxf file. There is no "part" of EMC2 that
creates G code fromCad files. Axis is just a GUI
for EMC2, which is a motion control
software. You need some kind of CAM software to
convert drawing files to G code.

Thanks for the clarity. So in tutorials that I have watched / read how to.
I see AXIS load a DXF file then it passes gcode to emc which spits out step
dir?
What "part" is creating the gcode from cad files? Is this a function of
AXIS? Again sorry if this is a lame question.

What Eric means is, EMC does not generate G code. EMC is motion
controlled software that utilizes G code for machine movement. EMC2
does not convert dxf or any other drawing format to G code, it has to
be G code for EMC2 to work, whether you're using the Axis interface,
tkemc, or any of the o

Riley, EMC does NOT generate gcode from CAD files - You have to use
CAM software for that purpose - generating gcode from dxf
Not sure I agree about not needing EMC. I would like to use EMC (perhaps
more to the point AXIS) to load cad files and then generate gcode... Use the
existing interface then just hook into that gcode. So perhaps when I say
EMC I am really wanting AXIS?
Our project is still in the early stages.

Hello,
This is my first post to this list and I am admitting still learning how EMC
operates. A few of us are working on an gcode interpreter on an ATXmega AVR
chip. (it does more than this however for this question that is a good
enough explanation) My question is, Is there a way
