Writing GCode

Writing gcode from python object instances to text

>>> from pygcode import *
>>> gcodes = [
...     GCodeRapidMove(Z=5),
...     GCodeStartSpindleCW(),
...     GCodeRapidMove(X=10, Y=20),
...     GCodeFeedRate(200),
...     GCodeLinearMove(Z=-1.5),
...     GCodeRapidMove(Z=5),
...     GCodeStopSpindle(),
... ]
>>> print('\n'.join(str(g) for g in gcodes))

G00 Z5
M03
G00 X10 Y20
F200
G01 Z-1.5
G00 Z5
M05

To plot along a lines of vectors, you could write...

>>> from pygcode import *
>>> from euclid import Vector3

>>> vectors = [
...     Vector3(0, 0, 0),
...     Vector3(10, 0, 0),
...     Vector3(10, 20, 0),
...     Vector3(10, 20, 3),
...     Vector3(0, 20, 3),
...     Vector3(0, 0, 3),
...     Vector3(0, 0, 0)
... ]

>>> to_coords = lambda v: {'X': v.x, 'Y': v.y, 'Z': v.z}
>>> for v in vectors:
...     print("%s" % GCodeLinearMove(**to_coords(v)))
