I found that the plugins for inkscape and illustrator would crash when I tried to convert SVG's with many thousands of lines to gcode.
|
||||
So I modified this to generate gcode for GRBL based pen plotter
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage as cli:**
|
||||
|
||||
_python convert.py source.svg destination.gcode_
|
||||
>python convert.py source.svg destination.gcode
|
||||
|

**or in bash**

There are various settings you can change in config.py. Most notably, you must set an upper and lower position for the z axis.

* zTravel is the height it will move to before traveling to the next stroke
