Hi Jeremy,
Hope all is good with you and Albert.
I am working with Dr. Tao Yhang and we are in the final stages of integrating our extruder equipment to the KUKA Robot test cell for 3D printing. The extruder is controlled by an Arduino Mega 2560 and in order to Calibrate the Extruder with the Robot feed speed and the Stepper motor for controlling the Extrusion Rate he has written a Python program which reads the robot KRL code and calculates the Rotation of the stepper motor for each movement.
He has modified the post processor to achieve this and it works successfully. The only problem is that it is extremely slow to read the code. Do you have any clever suggestions for overcoming this, and speed up the process ??
Looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Best Wishes
Andrew
