I would be astonished if Michael uses a non-metric machine, so those
are going to be mm positions.
I don't know why he said 10in x 10in.

I am not sure you need it. (but see the Dependencies section of that
Wiki page)
It should just be a case of specifying probekins in the HAL, then
loading an STL
I pulled the source I am using about 9 months ago. I then modified it to
allow saving more registers in the 4000+ range to allow the 3d preview to
work with some custom gcode multiplier code. I also am using gladevcp. I
think these depend on 2.6? or is it 2.5? It looks like probekins is 2.5

Hi,
I am trying the PyCam, it loaded an stl. Then I created text, the stl
disappeared. So I reloaded the stl, then the text is gone. I must be
missing some basics.
yes - sorry - this detail was hidden in the article :)
The last release of PyCAM could only handle one model at a time -

No it is not open or free software, but it is pretty amazing even at

Yeah, aspire would be nice, but I can't afford non free on this project, I
would have to cough up $1500 more for aspire. I think for now I am going

Basically, yes. The STL is a
