Python code for gcode reader and representation - ralmeida - Jul-31-2018
I am new to Python and I was wondering if someone can give me a few tips how to program in Python a gcode reader and afterwards the respective representation.
I am completly on the start of learning how to program. My goal is to read the gcode, pickup the XYZ coordinates of each line and represent them in a diagram and connect these points with lines, so that it basically generates a tool path.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Best regards,
Rui

Parsing foreign Languages like GCode is not an easy task for beginners.
You can look at already existing code: https://github.com/fragmuffin/pygcode
