Gcode converter from LaserWEB generated Gcode to Marlin compatible Gcode

GcodeConverter

Gcode converter from LaserWEB4 generated Gcode to Marlin compatible Gcode I use my old 3D printer with RAMPS and Marlin fimware for laser engraving and cutting, but pretty good program LASER WEB is not compatible with Marlin firmware, I hope, that is only temporary solution and Laser WEB will support Marlin firmware soon.
sorry only for Windows (Visual Studio 2017)
windows binary

Gcode from LaserWEB application

G0 X34.26 Y63.52 S0.0000
G1 X34.36 S0.0196
X34.56 S0.0627
X34.76 S0.5882

to Marlin compatible form

M107
G0 X34.26 Y63.52
M106 S4
G1 X34.36
M106 S15
G1 X34.56
M106 S149 ; S0.5882
G4 P50 ; laser start time, added by GcodeConvertor
G1 X34.76

Version 1.0

• make verbose Gcode command, X10 S1.0 is converted to M106 S255 and G1 X10
• if laser start time > 0 then command G4 Pxx is added
• when PWM is disabled converter uses M106 without S parameter
• you can customize LASER ON and OFF commands (for RAMPS D9 output for PWM )
• multiple X commands without S parametr are converted to single command G1 Xlast_position, all the same for Y command

gcodeconverter's Issues

PWM numbers multiplied by 256

Thanks for writing this. I really wanted to try LW4, but they decided not to support Marlin :(

The issue I have is the S values post-conversion are all multiplied by 256, which results in just a full strength burn instead of the varying levels.

Thanks again
