Extrude is a script to display and extrude a gcode file.
It controls the extruder and movement. It can read linear and helical move commands. It saves a log file with the suffix _log.
To run extrude, install python 2.x on your machine, which is avaliable from http://www.python.org/download/
Then in the folder which extrude is in, type 'python' in a shell to run the python interpreter. Finally type 'import extrude' to import
this program. Extrude requires pySerial installed for this module to work. If you are using Fedora it is available on yum
(run "sudo yum install pyserial"). To actually control the reprap requires write access to the serial device, running as root is
one way to get that access.
This example displays and extrudes a gcode file. This example is run in a terminal as root in the folder which contains
Hollow Square.gcode, and extrude.py.
>>> import extrude
Extrude has been imported.
The gcode files in this directory that are not log files are the following:
['Hollow Square.gcode']

Note: On my system the reprap is not connected, so I get can not connect messages, like:
>>> extrude.extrude()
File Hollow Square.gcode is being extruded.
reprap.serial = serial.Serial(0, 19200, timeout = 60)
reprap.cartesian.x.active = True
reprap.cartesian.y.active = True
reprap.cartesian.z.active = True
reprap.extruder.active = True
reprap.cartesian.x.setNotify()
Error: Serial timeout
Error: ACK not recieved
..
On a system where a reprap is connected to the serial port, you should get the following:
>>> extrude.extrude()
File Hollow Square.gcode is being extruded.
..
The gcode log file is saved as Hollow Square_log.gcode
>>> extrude.extrudeFile("Hollow Square.gcode")
File Hollow Square.gcode is being extruded.
