Robnv,

Tgfx just wants gcode files. They are plain text files containing the gcode.

Hi Riley, Found a solution and posted to forum. It allows you to generate your drawing in a graphics or cad program and convert the drawing to a gcode file which imports to tgfx and runs on the tinyg board without any problems that I could find. Hope this sells more board for you. I was contracted to rebuild an oversized plasma table that is 25 years old. I needed a fast graphics solution for the customer that uses cad programs and came up with the way to do it. And if you know anybody that has any job openings let me know.

Thanks, Robert Hoffman
