G-Code Interpreter

Projects Programming
1

Hey all,
Bought an Arduino Duemilanove and 3 EasyDriver's for 3 stepper motors. Original intention was to get a G-code generator and interpreter but I've found that difficult. I have a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion. Can anyone give me a hand with getting a G-code interpreter into the Arduino environment?

So - you've already went to Google, and typed "g-code arduino", and didn't find anything...? Or is there another issue?

I just don't understand the steps to integrating it. The RepRap page has multiple sets of instructions, some which tell me to find the file in the downloaded folder that doesn't exist, or instructions that say they're outdated but offer nothing new to replace them. I've downloaded probably 8 versions of G-Code Interpreters and Arduino V1.0 but I have no idea what to do from there.

I'm in the process of building a MakerGear reprap, their instructions are here: MakerGear Mendel Prusa - Differences From Stock Prusa

which point (at the bottom) to http://groups.google.com/group/makergear/msg/0302b99fbfc45c2f to download the ramps control code.

I'm not at the point of processing g-code yet, so I can't vouch for it, but I've used some of the motor control routines successfully. Give it a shot.
