Homebrew Laser Cutter made by Zach Radding

Step 6Motion Controller

Motion Controller
Zach says: "The newer laser uses an old Galil-600 motion control card. It came with the XY table. I found
a utility (from Galil) that converts HPGL files to a format that its motor controller can
recognize. I wrote a VB app that allows me to preview the cut and send the motion control file
to the Galil card. I'd be happy to share that, but I don't really think it would help anyone."
