My MiniGcode creator software

Given that you are aiming this to provide extra functionality in a UCCNC setting, assuming Windows doesn't seem silly. I guess that a portable version across platforms would be a nice-to-have but something that works on one platform seems better that something that doesn't quite on several. I remember way back tallking to a colleague who had left to join a big database company. He said that they had one version for VMS, one for IBM, and about 50 more for different flavours of Unix! Maintenance nightmare...

Exactly. I can’t get into all that !

I do use UCCNC but the gcode generated is basically G0, G1, and G2, with some M commands for the spindle start stop and code rewind. I’m hoping that is fairly universal for most controllers. I didn’t see the commercial conversational software requesting which controller was to be used so they would tailor the post to suit, but I might have missed it. The idea was to keep it simple to be more universal in terms of generated code.
