Forked from vishpat/svg2gcode

https://github.com/vishpat/svg2gcode

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

or in bash

copy 's2g' to your path and run from anywhere

There is a brute force path optimisation algarithm. Very slow for large files, can be disabled in config.py

illustrator exports in points regardless of your document settings if units are set to points in the config file, we convert to mm on the fly

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

zDraw should be the heiggit at which the pen will make contact with the paper
