Using Gedit without EMC2 to manually edit Gcode with syntax

[mouratoglou]

Hello, i want to ask you about this, im a newby

http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emc...Creating_Gcode

here i found that gedit can be used to edit g code with EMC2
thats why i post my question here, because i need to extract the gedit g-code syntax script add on from EMC2 but I cant install it because my PC its too old to run EMC2...

I only need the G-code editor, to manually write the G-code in Gedit.

Please, can anyone help me to figure out this???

thank you very much

Gedit is just a text editor with a gui interface ( part of the Gnome gui interface package ). Any text editor will work.

I know that gedit its a simple text editor.
The situation is the following:

We write the code manually using NCLink notepad (we dont use this prorgram to send code trough serial cable) ONLY to write it...

Its easier to write the G code with this notepad as it marks the syntax with colours.

The problem is im moving to LInux and I cant find a replacement, NClink doesnt work under Linux with Wine...

Can anyone suggest me a replacement that has this feature of the G code syntax???

I am not aware of any syntax aware gcode editors. Maybe someone else can help.

thans man, i think that with the link about highlighting in gedit ( http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emc...hting_In_Gedit ) i found something quite useful to configure gedit to edit gcode without installing the complete EMC2 aplication as I dont need it. Let me make some tests and I tell you if those indications work.
If anyone knows another solution for editing g code in Linux with a syntax indicator colouring the code please share the knowledge...

thanks a lot
