This directory contains code I'm hacking up to support my new CNC milling habit :-)  nothing professional
or fancy for now, just useful things as I need them.  Being a programmer by nature this seems easier to
me than messing about with GUI design packages.  And you know what you're getting if you write it yourself...




rectangle:

    start of a program to generate a path to clear a rectangle.  User has to set the 0 height.
    currently it generates a 65mm x 65mm square - haven't added parameters to the program yet.

    just a little experiment to see what procedures a package might need to generate gcode.

    I had intended to start from 'svg2mx3' (in http://gtoal.com/src/svg2mx3/ ) but decided it
    was overkill - easier to start from something more like an old pen plotter library.



svg2mx3:

    Takes an SVG file and converts it to gcode suitable for (at least) the mx3.  Probably would work
    in the other Genmitsu mills.  has a few command line parameters but defaults should be OK -
    the "-w" parameter takes a maximum width in mm and rescales the SVG to that width - useful if
    the SVG file was too large for the surface.
