I found a GO program that has one feature I really need. It “kills redundant code, and just tries to make Grbl and the router waste less time”.
I need to eliminate redundant code. One company I’m doing work for has very old machines with limited memory and no decimal points allowed therefore having extra code gets to be a challenge to clean-up on large programs. I’m attaching some simple examples for your reference.
Example code noted below is to show the before and after G-CODE going at a two different angles. One "multiple straight line move " is at zero degrees and the other one at a 45 degrees angle to better explain my issue.
That sounds neat, but at least I don’t speak G-code and it’s not super clear to me what you need help with (optimizing away redundant moves, yes, but something specific in terms of Go?).
Eliminating those extra moves helps save memory for these old machines. To make a straight line I only need the start and end point therefore the need to get rid of any extra “Straight Line Coordinate” moves not needed on large programs:
I would like to thank you all for your interest in helping out. I’m glad I searched around and found this site. It’s awesome having forums like this. I will definitely take some of the GO training classes offered on this community after I finish with the project I’m working on.
Jousuo updated the installation program to work with Windows 10 and we’re almost there
