My goal today was to make G-code for the Desktop Mill to draw a curvy letter. I chose the letter S, hopped onto the virtual graph paper website and wrote out my "S". My first "S" I drew was too small so I sized it up and made a circle that was 3in in X and 3in in Y. I then chose my start and end points and figured out the rest of my curves from there. I decided that I was going to make a slightly smaller circle inside the other one to help me get the outline feature I needed. Once I had these done I traced in between the circles to make sure I liked how the "S" would look, once I did I started writing my G-code. I set my 0,0 below my "S" in the bottom left corner then I set my off point for a couple spaces away from my start point to be able to get practice making the tool go into my start point instead of just starting on top of it.
When I finished my code and went to prove it out I had some missing variables. I was missing some X coordinates, some G1 and G2 G-codes and federates.
Once I added these things into my program it ran smoothly and my S came out just like i wanted it to.
