The RepRap host software implements the "slicer" and the "G-code sender", key parts of the CAM Toolchains. For other, arguably better, implementations of a slicer or a G-code sender or both, see RepRap Options#CAM Tools. If you want to install and use the RepRap host software, see DriverSoftware. If you want to help us make the RepRap host software better, or you are simply curious about technical details of the algorithms used internally by the RepRap host software, please read on. The code that runs on the computer controlling a RepRap machine is written in Java. You can find the Javadocs for it here and browse all the code on Sourceforge here. For installation instructions, please see here or the pages for: GNU/Linux, Mac and Microsoft. Below is an explanation and further documentation on how the host software works. http://reprap.org/wiki/Reprap_host_softwarehttp://reprap.org/wiki/Installing_RepRap_on_your_computer https://github.com/reprap/release |
