I have been working on a new 2D program, in Visual Basic .NET 2003. The program will let you draw an image with your mouse, it tracks the cursor "X" & "Y" coordinates, the "Z" up/down is controlled with the left mouse button, while the cursor is over the picturebox.
The attached screenshot shows all the rapid moves in Red, all the drawing in light blue, and the green line sends the machine Home (with the click of the "Finish Code" button, at the bottom right side of the screen) Then will finish out the code with things like "M30"
On the right side is all the g-code produced (as you draw your image)
Don't flame me about the g-code you see in the image, I've only just started this project (and about 10 others)
You might notice "N15" that was the starting Point (Left Mouse Button Down = Z=-10.500 F50) of the drawing. By the way the text drawn is supposed to read "Switcher", the Rapid moves make it hard to read.
What I want to know is, would anyone have an interest in a program like this?
I would like to hear what everyone thinks, about this, should I finish it, or forget it?
