Is it possible to control the position of the cutter from a third party source? Or maybe one that runs in conjunction with Carbide Motion through a public API?
I want to build an electronic edge finder for job zero. It would be nice to be able move the cutter at a specific speed to only have it stop until it makes contact with a stock material through our own implementation.
Lots of different software for this: http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Communication_/_Control
c.f.,
This is great! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Another one not yet listed… hmm how do we get it listed? Is IntelliG-Code by softwareredefined.com
It probes and has extra features also. Check it out here: http://www.softwareredefined.com/
It is listed, it’s just on the Commercial Software page:
The other pages are for opensource/free apps in keeping with the project’s original opensource roots.
