General Mach Discussion / Re: Live feed gcode into mach3 - is there a plugin / vbscript / c++ code?

You can stream Gcode sements to Mach3 through its macro language Cypress Basic. I would NOT stream it directly with CODE"" statements as it is unstable.
I would write a CB interface that takes your Gcode and writes mini programs on the fly and LOAD it into Mach3 as a Gcode program, then run the file. THIS WAY you can take advantage of the CV features.
Also MAch3 is VERY stable running Gcode programs as compared to Gcode/CBmacro programs.
When the next Gcode segment is ready REPEAT the process Convert to Mach3 Gcode file, Load, Run,etc,etc
It would be similar in nature to DRIP feeding Mach3 Gcode Programs.
Just a thought, (;-) TP
