Workflow

Make csv file
- Important Note: When creating a csv file, ensure that it is only CSV (Comma Delimited) as other encoding formats prepend data on the front of data
apply function args
export gcode to clipboard and past in text doc, save as gcode file and upload to Duet Web Control (DWC), jobs tab
export dry run gcode and test
export drill run of gcode and run

Find better method for excluding holes than 666
Look at ways to add comments into exported gcode using mecode (make it more readible)
Need to implement logic to avoid chucks (need param to input chuck width)
Clean up comments and update readme
Better picture of tube CNC axes
Add auxillary functions like relay control
CSV: array of Z positions for hole "sets" AND X positions for each hole in that set (with respect to the chosen origin)
- Z5.351, X90, X-90
- Z10, X90, 0 (zero means no other holes)
  - arrays would be dimensioned with columns equal to Z-position with max number of holes

Make first hole "index" the rest, gcode using absolute coordinates to the first hole, all relative after to avoid stacks
Absolute coordinates for first hole, then all holes on same Z-position drilled using X and Y motions ONLY
After all holes on a given Z-position are drilled, advance to the next using relative position indexing, then repeat relative X and Y motions until all holes are drilled at that Z-position
based on cross section shape and dia, chuck positions, and stock length, script will generate correct y-retracts to avoid collisions
- param could be "z-chuck exclusion offset"

Python scripts and examples for generating GCode according to Mecode

Install python packages:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
