Hello Shmacked
1) I have only ever tried this with the "Epilog Mini 18" and the "Epilog Legend32" (like 15-20 years old at this point) with a bed size of 18x12 for the Mini. I have never tried with a 24 or Helix.
2) BED_WIDTH is the x-axis and BED_HEIGHT is the y-axis. The z-axis is not defined because that is for the focus of the laser, auto or manual. If auto then the engraver uses internal hardware to determine the focal depth, otherwise the focus is set before the job is started.
3) It has been about 7 years since I had daily access to any of these lasers and therefore do not quite remember any dependency issues I might of had. Feel free to add to the README.md file via a pull request and dependencies on modern distributions! That is why I have this project open sourced, to make sure people have this information!
4) no need to apologize for anything ☺ we all have to learn from somewhere and if someone is a jerk then knowledge is not gained and nobody is better for it. Never stop asking questions!
The 24in must be for the Legend32, it has a larger bed size. I never got around writing separate code for each engraver. I wasn't as good of a developer then. =P I've grown a lot since, but if you would like to make it better feel free to!
So I have a few questions (if I am posting this in the wrong forum, please redirect me to the proper place):
Sorry for the noobish questions.
