humanize-gcode 0.0.3

Annotates GCode files with human readable descriptions of commands

humanize-gcode

A tool for explaining the commands in machine readable GCode files.

Based on the specified GCode flavour, the tool parses a list of GCode commands and their description from the flavour's documentation. With this library it parses the input file and explains the effect of each command.

Installation

The utility is available on PyPi, so it can be installed with pip:

pip3 install humanize-gcode

Usage

The package comes with the executable script hucode that accepts two arguments. The GCode flavour (currently only marlin/smoothie are supported) and the name of the file to annotate (or - for stdin).

Example usage

~ hucode smoothie testfile.gcode

TODO

• More output formats (and possibly customization?)
• More supported GCode flavours
• Use command arguments to influence annotation
• Caching of GCode flavour libraries
