FreeCAD Post Processor
Does anyone know of a post processor for FreeCAD and CNC12 Acorn Router? Some articles say that an existing one can be modified but I don't know enough about php and G-Code to do this.

Re: FreeCAD Post Processor
I don't know a lot about FreeCad, been wanting to get into it, but just haven't taken the time yet. Just a quick look after installing the latest version, and there are two pp's for Centriod. One named Centroid, and one named Refactored Centroid (whatever that means). Should be some tutorials out there for it as well. It also looks like most of the editing can be done with arguments that can be set right in FreeCad's job forms. Trial and error with some output to see what works and what might need to be added.
