I'm looking into programming a couple of simple G code generators for EMC2. I've looked at Tcl and Python. Python seems to be easier to grasp for me. I've programmed in Basic, FoxPro (database), Visual Foxpro. So I'm not a complete newbe.
The first program I want to do is a simple shape program for generating g code for a plasma cutter. Basicly you draw the shape you want to cut out the lead in and the side you want to keep and the thickness of the part. Then the software will generate the g codes... The second one is a g code generator for simple routines in milling like pocket, pocket with an island, facing, slotting, drilling patterns etc that is a little smart and won't waste a lot of time cutting air... So, my question is would Python/Tkinter be a good platform to develop this software on? Or is there something out there that can do this already?
