go-gcode generates G-Code for CNC machines and 3D printers, written in Go.

go-gcode

go-gcode is an experimental fun project to generate G-Code for CNC machines and 3D printers, written in Go.

It is loosely based on Mecode and gcmc.

Make sure to check out gocnc which should be able to interpret the G-Code generated by this package.

Status

This project is just getting started but is usable to generate G-Code for controlling your CNC machine.

Usage

The easiest way to use this package is to use a "dot import" to bring all the GCode functions into your main program's namespace, then call the functions as if you were drawing each segment.

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  . "github.com/gmlewis/go-gcode/gcode"
)

func main() {
  g := New()
  g.GotoXYZ(XYZ(0,0,0))
  g.MoveX(X(1))
  fmt.Printf("%v", g)
}

Examples

See the examples directory for some examples.

To run all the demos at once, type:

$ ./run-examples.sh
