Hey Folks
I've been looking into the laser pic software and the out put file it creates.
The output file is sloppy to say the least. It creates a dot by dot (pixel ) value for the laser. Ok simple and effective. But so much time is wasted on the blank spaces.
My issue is that I can see the fix but it would take me a lot of time to research what vb script I need to go through the lines of g code and delete the unnecessary stops to each blank dot.
The one picture I'm currently working on has a proximity 40% of dead space. This app would save a lot of running time.
Could you please see if your team could creat a little vb app that will go through the gcode find where there are sections of dot stops that have "M3 S0" and delet the section. The trick is that the first S0 and last S0 line in the group must be preserved to aline the laser correctly for the end and start of the laser burn.
I'd bet that laser pic folks would like to have this app as it would cut down a lot of time on some pictures.
Thanks for your time and help.
