In a moment of being overly generous a few years ago, someone asked if they could register the pcbgcode.com and I agreed. Seventeen minutes later, I regretted it. He was selling some modified version

Thanks Peter and Harald! Actually, Textmate isn't that bad. I just added .ulp to the extensions for C programming language, and it does pretty well. When I tried it years back, things like: ??

Hi guys, For what it's worth the FreeBasic ide? "FBide" will provide a color highlighted presentation of a .ulp file. Available for Windows, Mac and Linux so the blurb says. Peter

Hi John, just wanted to dig a bit through your code to get some understanding on this "drill/spot drill" problem, still included in your Alpha version. I use Notepad++ for editing/viewing text files

Hello Folks, The question recently came up about how pcb-gcode calculates it's toolpath, and why pads aren't isolated when there seems to be plenty of room between. Hopefully, this will help show how

Hello Folks, Here are some details about the logic of hole milling: * If the hole size is smaller than the endmill, and between the endmill's minimum and maximum as set in the rack file, the endmill

Hi John, please provide me with the Alpha version. I will test it on my mill, but it may take me a few days to get to it. -- Harald _____________________

JJ, Now if only real world tests go as smoothly as the simulation show! Like the video and this will be a great addition to the software. Also, please include me for alpha testing. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I cheated :-) For Arduino I have Visual Micro on hands, so I can debug the code in some way. Not that I have much practice with it, but programming Arduino with all capabilities of the Visual

I'd forgotten how tedious and terrible development is without a debugger and the ability to step through code and inspect variables ?

Hi, as I have already posted any hole over 1.5mm diameter I use circular interpolation. Given that I use 1.5mm endmill for this purpose its fine to plunge and cut to full depth of the PCB at full

Hello people. my opinion: 1- G2 and G3 can be used with R without problems (two 180¡ã arcs) or I J mode (my Trochoidal 3d bCNC plugin uses R, without problem after years) 2- If the cut of the circle

I think that the direction depends on the stage of the operation. The tolerances depend on the cutting tool, the rigidity of the setup (unimat NOT rigid, Seig X2 much better, Bridgeport no problem),

I stand corrected. Thank you for the clarification. The picture makes it much more clear. I got the direction wrong so I guess G02 is preferred?
