I am able to run "Drawbot_image_to_gcode_v2" and upload a .png file. I can see the image getting created on the display window. After pressing "g", multiple .txt , .svg and pdf files are created in the gcode folder. But, there is no .txt file that corresponds to the gcode of the complete image (that is uploded).

I want one gcode file which corresponds to the complete image. I am using processing 3.5.4. Attached are the files for the reference.

Any help is appreciated

Hi Allenb924. I am not able to use the code at all. Im so new to the coding world generally. Im a realistic artist. My IG is @scaezar, but i just got a makelangelo. You were able to use the code so im certain im not doing something right. Would you be so kind to help? Please? Maybe a tutorial that could help? Or maybe just guide me through? Email - [email protected] Thanks and God bless

No idea if I can help you guys, but I will try.

@Allenb924 What is inside the *.txt files that are created?

@scaezar How far are you getting? Can you start the application inside Processing?

It appears that @Allenb924 wants one output.txt file to send to the plotter. Currently the confusion seems to stem from there being multiple text files created to make up the image. As opposed to one single file which makes up the image. I'm not too familiar but it seems that maybe each pen is exported as a different gcode path - whereas @Allenb924 may be after their drawing to be sent to one corresponding gcode file.
