but when I open the ngc file, it doesn't have the letters I am expecting. I am wondering what I missed. Thank you.

This is what I get:

demo_hello_world_scripts.txt

Strange. Have you renamed the generated demo_hello_world_scripts.ngc to demo_hello_world_scripts.txt? What architecture is this? Please add the output of "uname -a"

Answer 2 · 2019-10-24T19:13:09.000Z

Thanks for getting back to me.

I renamed gnc to txt, in order to upload the file here.

It is a Raspberry Pi

Aaaah, this is armhf where a char is unsigned per default... Please try to change libhf2gcode.c line 404 and 405 from char -> "signed char"

Answer 5 · 2019-10-24T19:23:14.000Z

I've made a cset: 9e5a26c
Perhaps I have access to a Rpi the next few days and try it out

Answer 6 · 2019-10-24T21:27:24.000Z

It works now. Thank you very much.

I am working on a project, and this tool helped a lot.
I will show you when I am done.

Thanks again.

Answer 7 · 2019-10-27T06:46:26.000Z

So the cset was sufficient? And yes, please add some pictures of the resulting project.

Answer 8 · 2019-10-27T06:50:26.000Z

Totally, it works very well for my need.

Here is the project, I am still working on it. Should finish it in the next couple days.

Thanks

Answer 9 · 2019-10-27T06:52:07.000Z

BTW, it is still me, with a different account.

Hi there,

The code is up, and the project is done: https://github.com/sunnyspeedstudio/3d-typewriter

Thanks again for the help.
