G-code interpreter

[Zek67]

Hello,

I know there is already a post talking about this but Khaled (the guy who created this intepreter) is no more in NI forum.

The link : http://forums.ni.com/t5/Motion-Control-and-Motor-Drives/G-code-interpreter-using-LabVIEW-done/td-p/2...

I would like to know if there is anyone who knows how to get the link or maybe there is a module on Labview which interpret GCode ?

Thanks.

Hello Zek67;

You just opened another forum and I think it's related to the same subject, is it not?

Don't hesitate to put more information in the forum that you already opened instead of opening a new one.

If this is a different question, can you clarify the question and give us more clues about what you are dealing with.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Bye!

For many of us (well, that may be wrong, but certainly for me), "G Code" is what I think is the code underlying LabVIEW (on its way to becoming C++ or something like that), so I dismissed this question as "Nonsense" from someone just getting started in LabVIEW who "just doesn't get it".

This is from Wikipedia:

G-code (also RS-274), which has many variants, is the common name for the most widely used numerical control (NC) programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools. G-code is sometimes called G programming language, not to be confused withLabVIEW's G programming language.

Given that this is a LabVIEW Forum, it would have been nice of the Original Poster to "not have confused LabVIEW Users" (like myself) who would naturally have thought it referred to LabVIEW's G Programming Language.

P.S. -- I find it ironic that the OP wants to create a "G-code interpreter" in G Code (LabVIEW), and is not being self-referential!  Not necessarily a bad project, but is LabVIEW the optimal choice for a text interpreter?
