Re: [Emc-users] gcmc - G-Code Meta Compiler

[Marius L. <ma...@ma...>]

Now that I have had some good look at it again, I am excited. I am busy 
with my pick and place machine planning and the input software is always 
a big mission. I am sure with this program I am going to get it done.
I have to use the camera to line up the component once it has been 
picked, will I be able to interface to the external stuff that will 
control the camera in any way? What do you suggest, using Mcodes and 
inputs maybe?
