Description
Engravvvver GCode Generator
The Engravvvver is a vvvv patch that reads a pixel image (.BMP / .JPG / .PNG / etc) and converts it into a machine-readable GCode path for 2D raster engraving. Every GCode is saved incrementally within the folder of the source image.
You can
- set the laser power (min/max) from 0-255
- set the travel and feed rate
- set the scan resolution (pixel size in mm),
- define a cutout shape (quad/circle) as well as cutout speed and power
- see the graphical representation of the gcode line that is currently being written
- generate GCode files (yay!), these can be quite large!!
You can not
- achieve a higher feed rate than the max amount of gcode lines per second that your machine can receive
- send the gcode "on-the-fly" to a device (I use Universal GCode Sender 2.0 https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender)
