7 years ago Thanks Norbert,
I will surely add this to NCam and any gcode you think that is of interest. As long as we can make it with params and it has universal usage, it is worth the effort to add it.
Actually I have to either find another deb hosting service or pay for a plan at packagecloud.io. I received a notice this morning that the account has been disabled because it has exceeded the maximum allowed overage and to login and upgrade the plan or increase the maximum overage. Paying a monthly fee would do but I spent a lot of time developing this and wonder if I should also pay to share it. I understand the point of packagecloud.io but since my company has nothing to do with computers of even machining, I can not make it pay for the hosting service, I would have to pay from my own pocket.
I created a deb directory on my computer and use reprepro but so far something does not work. I think I could synchronize with dropbox or push to github ( I already did it at https://github.com/FernV/github.io) Example : I install v 0.1.7 v 0.1.8 is available at file:/home/fernand/Developpement/git/github.io/ with sources.list deb file:/home/fernand/Developpement/git/github.io/ wheezy main it will tell me that v 0.1.8 is available and will update but after I push to github and with deb https://github.com/FernV/github.io/tree/master/ wheezy main it will only tell me that v 0.1.7 is available
What do you think ?
Do not forget to send your gcode Fern

Hallo Fern,
may be you are able to integrate my gcode to make a spiral pocket. It may begin from a radius a little bigger than the tool radius and is able also to enlage a pocket with a pilot bore.
This way to make a spiral is not so havy load for the mill. I made several tests with my sup, but I would prefer to use it out of NCam.
I have also a subroutine spiral from out to in, I use that quiete often, wenn I want a remainig shaft on a plate, I have not found any way to do that with NCam, as there is no way to leave an iland on the part, I can send you the gcode sub if you like.
Regards Norbert (gmoccapy)
