I would love to see your solution!
"Due to the lack of further development, the immense variety of machine tool configurations, and little demand for interoperability, few machine tool controllers (CNCs) adhere to this standard. Extensions and variations have been added independently by manufacturers, and operators of a specific controller must be aware of differences of each manufacturers' product." -- the wikipedia entry for g-code
Maybe you have the freedom to spend all day writing code and not worrying about paying your bills. Are you rich? Do you still live in your parent's basement? Either way, I don't live in your world. Please post some instructables of your own before you tell me to shut up.
