Practice
G-code writing
- This week I was interested in exploring a machine a didn't use before, so for a practice Follwing this tutorial I learned more about G-code with Moiz we tried a simple G-code on the small CNC router machine.
- We used the small desktop router machine we have in our lab.
- Also we had a 25mm diameter end mill so we decided to use it but without rotating the spindle.
- we wrote the Gcode manually in a text file and used open builds control software to simulate it, we tried to use some special Gcodes but the machine didn't accept it so we went with the easy way to set the coordiante of each point it will travel from and to.
- Code: G-code
