J Tech laser tool inkscape plugin questions
Quote from Shawn Ashe on June 2, 2019, 11:40 amAll the blog posts I've seen show a homing option, the beta version that is available on github leaves that option out. Was there a reason for this?
Also, the raster plugin seems to have a problem that I can't figure out yet. I think the symptom is that if I let the image complete and the plugin homes at the end of a job, the next job does not home properly (it seems to be using the previous output as the new home). If I cycle power and restart the job then it seems to home correctly (to 0,0).
Im not complaining.. I am loving playing with this. I will be setting up safety/pause/resume switches, etc.
I'm still messing with the $30 setting, but starting to understand it. The greyscale offset/compression settings took a little to absorb.. but I get them now.
Thanks for all the work you have done on this..

Cheers, Paul

Quote from Paul on June 3, 2019, 1:49 pmI found the proper files at my inkscape extensions folder, so I zipped them up. Have not been able to test these since I am not at my office today. Let me know if this works. Just remove the .pdf extension which I use to upload the file here (.zip is not accepted...P)
Enjoy!

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "laser.py," in line 48, in <module>
from svgpathtools import *
ImportError: No module named svgpathtools

Quote from Paul on July 22, 2019, 7:48 amHi, the svgpathtool.py library is missing so I will upload that library to the download page https://github.com/paulusjacobus/awesome.tech
It can be downloaded from https://pypi.org/project/svgpathtools/
Let me know if that works,
Cheers, Paul
