Mine does; I changed the define in plotter.h and everything worked fine. FYI for others who might run into trouble.

desenhando.svg.zip

I had the file attached, and I had it cut using an A4 sheet and when I went to see the result there were several small letters on the sheet (the whole page resulted in 65mm x 50mm) is the first time I used the application of voices, I used inkscape to to generate the file in archlinux x64

Hi robocut developers,
i want to thank you for your effort, robocut is really helpful piece of software.

I am actually using robocut+silhouette portrait for laser burning and my issue is that I would like to persuade the cutting head to move even slower than is the slowest speed=1 (from the range of speeds 1..10), so that the line burned by laser is thicker/more visible.

I inspected the source code - Plotter.cpp and it seems the physical speed is matter of firmware and thus there is no way to alter it in Robocut source code.
Actually for curiosity I tried to enforce
speed = 0; e = UsbSend(handle, "!" + ItoS(speed) + "\x03");
but the firmware seem to use speed=1 in such case.

So far I came up with following ideas:

• I inspected Silhouette Cameo firmware but it does not seem to be easy to reverse engineer the firmware (and I actually own silhouette Portrait)
• I was wondering what would happen if I try to lower the voltage provided to the stepper motors (I have not disassembled the SIlhouette so I only guess there are stepper motors inside).
• it seems the document size is passed via usb and I thought on somehow cheating the Silhouette to believe the document is e.g., A6, but actually provide coordinates for A4 to make the movement 2x slower due to fake dimensions.

Any help is appreciated.

First of all, thanks for taking over Robocut. I noticed that the original Gitorious repo died about 2-3 years ago.

After apt-get install qtcreator libqt5svg5-dev && qmake && make I got the following:

g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SVG_LIB -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/usr/share/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt5 -I/usr/include/qt5/QtSvg -I/usr/include/qt5/QtWidgets -I/usr/include/qt5/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt5/QtCore -I. -I. -o main.o main.cpp

Any ideas how to proceed further?

Thanks!

First of all, great too!

I'm using it with silhouette portrait and its hard to adjust the paper because the mat (or paper) its loaded different from the (windows soft Silhouette Studio). Its a bit hard to hard to explain in English, so I made a diagram :)

the fact it's that when you cut the design its the mat goes (loads/move) complete up to the bottom and makes the cut starting from there instead of from the edge that is fisrt loaded.

thanks

Try to cut squares and you will quickly see that they are trapezoids. Maybe the trapezoid correction from gerber2graphtec could be implemented here?
