HPGL Vinyl Cutter/Plotter control via serial port

Hi All,

A follow on from this thread:

I’ve spent some ‘fun time’ this week looking at re-writing this code to be cross platform.

The upshot from that has been updating to Python3 and using Pyserial rather than the IronPython serial library (which is windows only).

A bit of a issue is I got rid of the Vinyl cutter that I developed this code for last year - so only way to test has been using a terminal and virtual comm ports.

Attached is currently where we are at - ‘working but needs testing’

250301_DK_Plot_Curves.py3.py (4.6 KB)
250301_DK_Get_Plot_Size.py3.py (2.5 KB)
250301_DK_Set_Com_Port.py3.py (1.4 KB)

OK - wind is UP - I’m heading to the beach, more progress later.

Cheers

DK
