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
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 height at which the pen will make contact with the paper
