New PlugIn Jog to Gcode (JCode)

[Barker806]

I posted this on the support page and wanted to tell you all here as well...

Hello,
I wanted to tell you that I made you all a gift in my free time
This Pluging is Called JCode (Jog to Gcode) I have no idea what you will use it for but it is a fun toy and could be used to make your machine do great things like dip a tea bag and stir in the honey, all by jogging!

Or you could use it to teach facing a part because Cam is just to slow... that works for me too (I would rather have a good cup of tea)

You can get it here on the Plugin's page:

Thanks

Hi Brian,

I posted this in the Mach Yahoo group too. So, I see here in the Zone a guy who hijacked a mouse and transform the movements into g-code. My question for you is:
Can you modify that plugin for a Wacom table? I try to find a soft which has the capability to transform a line (made with Wacom or any similar device) in g-code.

I hope not offend you since you made this plugin in youre free time.

Thanks in advance.

I could read in the encoders and turn that into Gcode... but once again it gets down to time If I were to do that I would have to charge for it. Would you be upset if it cost 19.99 to get the encoders turned into Gcode?

Thanks Brian

Yes for that I pay $19.99. So... when is ready...

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like gabi68 was talking about this http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19294 .

I think gabi68 wants to plot the X & Y with a tablet?

Yes Swhitcher that's what I want. I have youre software Sketch2Gcode, but I want to use my Wacom table for that. Can you modify youre soft to do that?

gabi68,

I didn't want to hijack Brians thread, just sounded like you were talking about freehand drawing to g-code.

I havn't finished "Sketch2Code", & don't know when that will happen (sorry).

Like everyone else, just not enough time in a day.

As far as being able to use what already exist in "Sketch2Code", I would think that you should be able to use a tablet pen, just as you can a regular mouse.

I don't have a tablet so thats the best answer I can give.

Hi Brian,

I have two question.

1 - The JCode capture points only tree axis.

2 - The buton "Rec Point" can be modified for extern button, for example a button of Probe.

Thanks.

I tried it .
Pretty neat
It did output upside down and back wards.

Any plan for a adjustable z ?
