Mach4 General Discussion / Auto Leveling - "Gcode Ripper" for Mach4
« on: July 06, 2017, 12:42:36 PM »
Q: What is Auto-leveling GCode? A:This Software takes gcode for Engraving (PCB's or Text) and regardless of the parts levelness probes points to level the Gcode created to engrave evenly across the part. the extremes of the flatness of the part is not affected by the possibilities this software provides.
In my case engraving text on any unlevel surface is a breeze with this software, taking my gcode and probing 4 corners prior to engraving updating the Z depths to perform a flawless engraving each time. In conjunction with Gcode Ripper i have been working with Autoleveler AE and as well will post that new code here when it is finished.
Here is the final release of GCode Ripper for Mach4 by Scorchworks. This was created for me by Scorch at Scorchworks and the Macros Edited by James Hawthorne PHd from Autoleveler. This version is currently fully functional under Mach4 Industrial. I have not tested with Hobby and cannot verify that it is functional within Hobby so test at your own risk. Macros need to be placed under the Macro folder within the profile you're currently using and the details to setup the reg parameters which are described in the following links.

Although I have fully tested and verified that this software works; every machine and controller handle probing differently so everyone needs to approach this with caution and care.
I am only sharing this to the community as it is invaluable to me and someone else should benefit from it. I will answer questions however try to follow the instructions in the links as like many i have my own job to focus on.
