Would you like gcode that runs on any machine?

[Dan]

Moving machine settings out of the gcode and into the robots means gcode made once could run on any machine.
Then we could share gcode with each other. Maybe contests or something.

Does this sound like something you would use/enjoy?

That would be very useful for troubleshooting.
I can’t build the jar files, so I have to wait for the releases.
I see some bug fixes on github after 7.7 release
Will 7.7 work (with latest firmware), or do I need to wait for 7.7.5?

Thanks!

The versions I pushed yesterday work together great. They are not critical fixes. There is an improvement to cap the software framerate, meaning it doesn’t suck up all your CPU all the time.

Thanks! I got 1.4 and 7.7.1 working on my machine and made some nice prints.
I need to test more carefully but I think that the engage/disengage still get confused if you stop a print mid-way. I will check carefully and put it on github if needed.

I might also consider dis-engaging the motors at the end of a print. The gondola goes to a corner (nice), but the first thing I want to do is disengage the motors to make it easier to remove the paper.
