Wow, that was a lot more replies that I was anticipating. I will start by doing something fairly straight forward and just archiving the python files in GitHub and making sure they are easy to navigate and download. Hopefully it won't be too much and and will be at least as good/better than the current Wiki page. I do like that I can just generate some G-code on any machine that has Python on it, without having to install lots of other stuff. Will report back and see what people think... nick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
