<h1>Extrude Documentation</h1>
|
|
<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
Extrude requires pySerial installed for this module to work. If you are using Fedora it is available on yum (run "sudo yum install pyserial").
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
To actually control the reprap requires write access to the serial device, running as root is one way to get that access.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Extrude</b> is a python script to display and extrude a gcode file. It controls the extruder and movement. It can read linear and helical move commands. It saves a log file with the suffix _log.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2>Example</h2>
|
|
<p>This example displays and extrudes a gcode file. This example is run in a terminal as root in the folder which contains Hollow Square.gcode, and extrude.py.</p>
|
|
<pre><p>
|
|
>>> import reprap.extrude as extrude
|
|
Extrude has been imported.
|
|
The gcode files in this directory that are not log files are the following:
|
|
['Hollow Square.gcode']
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> extrude.display()
|
|
File Hollow Square.gcode is being displayed.
|
|

Note: On my system the reprap is not connected, so I get can not connect messages, like:
|
|
|
|
>>> extrude.extrude()
|
|
File Hollow Square.gcode is being extruded.
|
|
reprap.serial = serial.Serial(0, 19200, timeout = 60)

reprap.cartesian.x.active = True
|

reprap.cartesian.y.active = True

|

reprap.cartesian.x.setNotify()
|

Error: Serial timeout

On a system where a reprap is connected to the serial port, you should get the following:
|
|
|
|
>>> extrude.extrude()
|
|
File Hollow Square.gcode is being extruded.
|
|
..
|
|
The gcode log file is saved as Hollow Square_log.gcode
