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>2 100 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
