h1. LGC Documentation
This page is intended to be full documentation of the LGC (laser g-code?) file format as used by LAOS. All dimensions are in uM, so multiply your millimeter values by 1000.
An LGC file looks like this:
<pre>
0 0 0
7 100 10000
7 101 10000
0 1000 1000
1 1000 11000
1 11000 11000
1 11000 1000
1 1000 1000
</pre>
Each command line of an LGC file starts with a number, which is the command. Depending on the command given, the file can then have a number of parameters, seperated by spaces to tell the command what to actually do.
h2. 0 - Move
<pre>0 1000 1000
0 X Y </pre>
The 0 Command moves the laser head to the coordinates specified with the laser turned off. The command above will move the laser head to X=1mm, Y=1mm
h2. 1 - Cut
<pre>1 10000 10000
1 X Y </pre>
The 1 Command moves the laser head to the coordinates specified with the laser turned on. The command will activate the laser, then will move the laser head to X=10mm, Y=10mm, cutting all the way
h2. 2 - Move Z
<pre>2 10000
2 Z</pre>
The 1 Command moves the laser head to the coordinates specified with the laser turned on. The command will activate the laser, then will move the laser head to X=10mm, Y=10mm, cutting all the way
