I want to try one more time

Recommended Posts

ok here it goes

I would like one more time and not get everyone all wound up.

HowardI i ended that last thread becouse yes it was going way too far.

I am just trying to figure somethings out and hoping your willing to share some information.

your a linux user? same here i was told that you got Ink Cut to work on all cutters. how i could never get the MH to work or any of them to work becouse of the serial to usb adapter. do you mind sharing some info with me?

what i was mainly in here was for some coding, i need to grab the code that is used on the graphtec so i can add teh print cut feature to ink cut.

there has to be some code gpgl - that is used to turn on the laser eye and have it start to scan for registration marks.

i can pull HPGL code off very easy but i cant pull GPGL code have you seen it? what does it look like?

thanks for everything

(my avatar is happy now LOL)

not trying to change the topic, but is linux just another operating system and why does it sound cheap(lack of a better term) is it because it is not used by the main stream? the system seems really cool. i have another older laptop that i would like to try it out on.

now back to the topic at hand.

it is open source and not owned by one company so it is basically free, soem companies charge for improvements they have made but the basic premise is the os is free for all to use and change as they please

Guest HowardI

I am using tuxplot, you're mentioning ink cut?  are those the same program?

I do have an MH running under tuxplot, the serial adapter in the cutter, a serial port, or a usb to serial all should work.

You did go into printers and create a raw printer with the correct port right?

as for the code being sent to initialize the optical eye, I don't have a clue but I can probably set up a sniffer and monitor a contour cut.

I don't know if I will be able to do this right away but I will see what I can do.

tux plot is a stand alone program

inkcut is a plug in for inkscape only

---------------------------------------------

ok i guess i was going around it a different way

at first i added my graphtec and as soon as i plugged it in to the usb linux found it right away but no drivers so i added as a raw printer

and with the mh i was trying to install the driver so linux could see the cutter

i never did go in and manually tell what port it was on ( that i  can remember)

--------------------------------------------

i am also going to work on the code for the optical eye i will post what i find here as well

---------------------------------------------

thanks
