Welcome to mecode_viewer
Installation
pip install mecode_viewer
Getting Started
Example: simplest case
All that is needed to run mecode_viewer is to provide a path to your gcode file. By default, mecode_viewer assumes you're using a Nordson pressure controller to control ink extrusion.
from mecode_viewer import mecode_viewer
mecode_viewer(file_name='gcode_file.pgm')
Example: custom extrusion command
Linear actuators are also often used to control ink extrusion during printing. This example shows how we can provide a custom extrude_cmd to specify when extrusion starts and stops. E.g., if linear actuator #5 is typically run using FREERUN PDISP5 2.5 and stopped using FREERUN PDISP5 STOP, we can simply set extrude_cmd='FREERUN PDISP5'.
from mecode_viewer import mecode_viewer
mecode_viewer(file_name='gcode_file.pgm', extrude_cmd='FREERUN PDISP5')
Example: animated visualization
By default mecode_viewer will display a 3D figure of your gcode toolpath. If you would like to view an animated version, set animate=True.
from mecode_viewer import mecode_viewer
mecode_viewer(file_name='gcode_file.pgm', animate=True)
Example: mixing, multimaterial printing
If extrude_cmd is provided with a list or tuple with more than one entry, mecode_viewer will generate a figure color coded for each extrusion source.
from mecode_viewer import mecode_viewer
mecode_viewer('gcode_file.pgm',
extrude_cmd=('PDISP1', 'PDISP2'),
extrude_stop_cmd=('PDISP1 STOP', 'PDISP2 STOP'))
!!! warning
This currently only work for two extrusion sources. We plan to add support for more extruders / more colors.
