Second release of MonkeyCAM v4. There are currently no docs, but those are coming soon. I've included example board and machine def files. Command-line only for Mac and Windows.

To generate all of the G-code files follow the directions below. Open them in something like Mach3 to see what the paths look like. It also generates a .svg file which you can open in a web browser (tested in Firefox and Chrome) to see what the overall base and core shapes look like.

Any questions? Feel free to open a issue and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Mac

The Mac binary is signed with my Apple Developer ID so you know it's from me. Copy the contents of MonkeyCAM-4.0.2.dmg anywhere you'd like, and run the binary with no arguments to see what parameters are necessary. To use the example defs, try this:

cd <directory where you copied the dmg contents>
mkdir SampleBoard
bin/MonkeyCAM --board example/board-def.json --machine example/machine-tool-def.json  --outdir SampleBoard

Windows

Unzip MonkeyCAM-4.0.2.zip wherever you'd like and run the binary with no arguments to see what parameters are necessary. To use the example defs, try this:

cd <directory where you extracted the zip>
mkdir SampleBoard
bin\MonkeyCAM.exe --board example\board-def.json --machine example\machine-tool-def.json  --outdir SampleBoard
