Simple question: Does Lightburn process / accept (what kind?)simple math functions in Custom GCode?
I tested it and the output isn´t the expected and sure GRBL wont accept it.
No, it does not at this time.
I am pretty sure Custom GCode is sent to the controller as-is. GRBL was never written to accept anything like that.
If x=10 Lightburn do e.g 1500-{x} and the output be X1490 it will be very helpful.
But thanks anyhow.
I’ll consider it for addition

Yes, but where would you store/retrieve the variables?
The idea is Lightburn does the math and output the GCode.
Yes, but where would you store/retrieve the variables?
- In a Lightburn table
- In a CSV file to be imported
- Both
I believe Lightburn has the power.
- 1 - We input machine bed size.
- 2 - We design something bigger than the bed.
- 3 - We send the project to the laser.
- 4 - Lightburn signals out-of-bounds ( how did they do that???)
- 5 - Lightburn has the power to do the math
You can in plenty of Input I/O as you are aware.
The idea is cool, and glad Adam is going to consider.
What was your best “use case” scenario you Could share?
Trying to see how you envision the usability of that on a day to day basis.
I don’t need it right now, but I have already created some Custom GCode machine profiles to help other Lightburn / M users and at least 2 users manually rotate the projects before sending them to their machines. And as the rotated result was as expected, I didn’t even check that the GCode contained commands with only letters and no numbers, which gives an error.
I believe I have a few GCode sender / controller that has an option to rotate the GCode.
