#Inkscape gcode makelangelo update#
The way I interpret that, is that it's the user's responsibility to compare the version numbers, to find out if there actually is an update or not. If I have the Preferences tab open when I click Apply, I get an empty file. Otherwise, you don't actually get any gcode. In my experience, when you use the Path to Gcode extension, you have to have the Path to Gcode tab open when you click the Apply button.

I've learned a little bit about using them, by using trial and error, the rudimentary tutorial which you can find on the Drobchenko forum (if you're diligent) and a simulator, since I have no actual cutter hardware. I suspect they will have to be dropped from Inkscape in the future (perhaps near future), unless someone else "adopts" them for development. So it's not surprising to me AT ALL, that they aren't keeping them updated. I find it unfortunate that the original developers of these gcodetools extensions, shortly after creating them, stopped providing support for them.
Is there a known solution for this problem? Has anyone else found the same thing happens, just a header and footer? Judging by the date, I get the impression the forum is no longer used much. I posted a request for help in the English section of the Russian website. I don't know what else to do, except as for help.
I have tried everything that I can think of, that I know about.
I have tried repeatedly to create G-code, but each time I get the same result, just a header and footer. I understand the difference between bitmap and vector images and the need to set the path correctly. I know that everything must be in one layer. Perhaps Gcodetools now works differently. I am sure that I am following the same sequence as I did before, as I am following my own written instructions.Įssentially this is a 3-stage process: (1) choose a virtual tool (2) create orientation points (3) generate G-code. Is this a known problem with v1.7 or am I doing something wrong? I would be most grateful if someone could help me, please. No G-code for the object itself is generated, just the header and footer. So v1.7 just creates a file containing a header and footer only. It creates a file which only contains a header and footer, no G-code for the object. So, in future, I shall ignore the Check for updates.Īfter using Gcodetools > Tools library, then Gcodetools > Orientation points, whenever I use Gcodetools > Path to Gcode This is misleading because according to the Russian website, v1.7 is the latest stable version. It still says there is a newer version available. Whenever I click on Extensions > Gcodetools > Check for updates > Apply Now I see that Gcodetools v1.7 is included with Inkscape v0.92 So, I uninstalled & reinstalled Inkscape v0.92 When I went to Extensions > Gcodetools > Check for updates, it still said there is a newer version available. Notice different names Gcodetools and GCODE tools Then I still saw Extensions > Gcodetools with its sub-menu containing 11 options,īut Extensions now also included another option below Gcodetools which was GCODE tools without a submenu. I copied gcode_tools.inx & gcode_tools.py to. When I unpacked it I got gcode_tools.inx & gcode_tools.py There is a newer version of Gcodetools you can get it at: When I click on Check for updates in that drop-down menu, a pop-up window displays: Inkscape > Extensions > Gcodetools > displays a drop-down menu containing 11 options beginning with About and ending with Tools library. Which drip-feeds Grbl to the Arduino Nano board to run the CNC 2417 machine.]Īlso, I use CAMotics 1.1.1 to check the G-code that is created by the Gcodetools extension in Inkscape.

[Note - I use a Linux Kubuntu laptop to run Inkscape 0.92 and I use a Windows 7 laptop to run Grbl controller My OS is Linux Kubuntu 18.04 and I am using Inkscape 0.92 with Grbl Controller 3.6.1
I bought a CNC 2417 engraving machine kit from China, which I assembled & have got working. I hope this is the most appropriate section to post my request.
