just to tell somebody, i am curently heavily working on the code. Due to some problems with visolate, i am moving our workflow to pcb2gcode. I implemented a feature for drilling, so that by specifying the option --milldrill, the mill head is used for drilling. Holes smaller than the mill diameter are drilled by a simple in-out move, larger holes are milled as G02 circles in the appropriate depth-steps. Also, I will try to read the gcode pre and postamble from the settings file, so it can be adjusted without recompiling. For the drilling I implemented some parametrization, so that e.g. zsafe is defined by #50 early in the code, and people can change it in the gcode, without multiplie replaces.. This I will also try to do for the normal layers. If there is time enough, I will try to change the path so that unnecessary intermediate steps are ommited. This should dramatically reduce the file sizes... I will post the code, when its completly finished... Bernhard Kubicek, 0664 620 7748 www.metalab.at |
