Hi,
A customer is making a CNC machine interface and has asked if I knew anyone who had a G-code to IsoMax(TM)/IsoPod(TM) interpreter. I said no, but it occurred to me that might be a neat thing.
I suggested to him he might want to post on the forum, and see if maybe a group wanted to get together and make an "open source" project out of this.
If you're curious about G-Code, you can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code
Also if you've ever looked at what's in a Gerber file, you'll see many of these codes used. Mostly X Y coordinates and tool selection information.
So anybody game for working such a project? If so please reply.
