gcode2mint.py

Allows driving the Denford MicroMill 2000 (and hopfully similar devices) via standard g-code.

This is still very early days, but alread implements enough for simple CAM output.

Usage

mint2gcode.py /dev/ttyS0

The example assumes the Denford is connected to your first serial port. This will then print a /dev/pts/ you can send the g-code to. Any host software should work, but I have been using https://github.com/kliment/Printrun.git.

The g-code is loosly based on the RepRap style, and dosn't implement any tool or work offsets. Ensure your CAM sysytem pre-calculates them. It is tested with http://pycam.sourceforge.net/.

Protocol

The MINT protocol implemented is documented here http://readinghackspace.org.uk/wiki/CNCMill_Mint.
