1. G-code
My responsibility was to start the machine and generate the G-code required to engrave the Fab Academy logo. This proved to be a challenging task, as there were multiple issues with the initial G-code. To troubleshoot and resolve these problems, I went through eight different iterations, each time modifying and testing the code to see if it would work correctly. Despite these challenges, I persisted and carefully analyzed each iteration to identify the necessary adjustments. Eventually, we had to fine-tune some values to achieve the precise cut needed. After all these efforts, we successfully got the machine to operate as intended, and the logo was accurately carved.
This is the final iteration of the g-code.
