Re: Working on some runtime info..

M130 allows you to run shell commands. You may still have to write a batch script to start it up

Re: Working on some runtime info..

Looks great!

I'd create a vcp button that launches the app, which is done on page 33 of the vcp manual - https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/centroid_vcp_users_manual.pdf

Here is the file I'm trying to plot.
I'm curious that you said you loaded my report and got it to plot correctly. Makes me wonder if there is something odd about my G-Code. It cuts fine. Model from Fusion with Swissi ...
