Binary 16 byte is an export plugin to convert gcode into 16 byte binary segments. An export plugin is a script in the export_plugins folder which has the functions getOutput, isReplaceable and if it's output is not replaceable, writeOutput. It is meant to be run from the export tool. To ensure that the plugin works on platforms which do not handle file capitalization properly, give the plugin a lower case name. The getOutput function of this script takes a gcode text and returns that text converted into 16 byte segments. The writeOutput function of this script takes a gcode text and writes that in a binary format converted into 16 byte segments. This plugin is just a starter to make a real binary converter.

`Settings`

Feed Rate Step Length Default is 0.1 millimeters/second. Defines the feed rate step length. File Extension Default is bin. Defines the file extension suffix. Offset X Offset Default is zero. Defines the X Offset. Y Offset Default is zero. Defines the Y Offset. Z Offset Default is zero. Defines the Z Offset. Step Length X Step Length Default is 0.1 millimeters. Defines the X axis step length. Y Step Length Default is 0.1 millimeters. Defines the Y axis step length. Z Step Length Default is 0.01 millimeters. Defines the Z axis step length.

This would be put into the file as z = 0 as the space for this data is reserved, if we did nothing, this would instruct the machine to go to z = 0. If we use the active flag to define the z axis as inactive the z = 0 is ignored and the value set to the last saved value of z, i.e it does not move. If the z data is actually set to z = 0 then the axis would be set to active and the move takes place.

Classes



Binary16ByteRepository
Binary16ByteSkein

class Binary16ByteRepository

    A class to handle the export settings.

Methods defined here:

__init__(self)
Set the default settings, execute title & settings fileName.

execute(self)
Convert to binary 16 byte button has been clicked.

class Binary16ByteSkein

    A class to convert gcode into 16 byte binary segments.

Methods defined here:

__init__(self)

getCraftedGcode(self, gcodeText, binary16ByteRepository)
Parse gcode text and store the gcode.

parseLine(self, line)
Parse a gcode line.

Functions


getIntegerFlagFromCharacterSplitLine(character, splitLine)
Get the integer flag after the first occurence of the character in the split line.

getIntegerFromCharacterLengthLineOffset(character, offset, splitLine, stepLength)
Get the integer after the first occurence of the character in the split line.

getNewRepository()
Get the repository constructor.

getOutput(gcodeText, binary16ByteRepository=None)
Get the exported version of a gcode file.  This function, isReplaceable and if it's output is not replaceable, writeOutput are the only necessary functions in a skeinforge export plugin.

isReplaceable()
Return whether or not the output from this plugin is replaceable.  This should be true if the output is text and false if it is binary.

main()
Display the export dialog.

writeOutput(fileName, gcodeText='')
Write the exported version of a gcode file.
