07-March-2015 - 10 hours : Cleaned up the exporters code a lot. Added ppm and feedrate detection from
the layer name. Updated the gcode that is exported to be neater and work better with
pulsed mode using G01, G02 and G03 commands.

07-March-2015 - Fixed the G28 command at the end of the job. Added defaults for laser power,
feedrates and ppm if defined. If ppm isn't defined in the layer options it will operate as
continuous wave mode. See the help in the extension dialog for how to use.

07-March-2015 - Marlin codebase mod : You need to patch the Marlin codebase to turn on the
laser before moving for G02 and G03 commands. This plugin assumes this has been done. More
details to come in the future. Copy the code from the G01 above in marlin_main.cpp

About This Fork

About This Project
------------------
Modified to output gcode that is compatible with K40 style laser cutter
running Marlin
(https://github.com/lansing-makers-network/buildlog-lasercutter-marlin).
I couldn't get the original version from LMN repo to work with LMN's Marlin as
it never set the laser intensity on the M3 command.
This works form me, but YMMV. Very limited testing. Never leave your laser
cutter unattended while it's powered/operating. Keep a fire extinguisher
close by, wear saftey goggles, and be afraid!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
10.17.14 - A little more testing reveals that G02 (CW ARC) and G03 (CCW ARC)
moves are problematic. Not sure if it's the modifications in this fork, the
original THLaser, LMN's Marlin, Inkscape, or some combination that is causing
the issues.
running Marlin (https://github.com/lansing-makers-network/buildlog-lasercutter-marlin).
Basically, you should consider this pre-alpha code. Examine the exported
Gcode and do test runs on cardboard/paper before trying to cut on valuable
stock.
26-Feb-2015 - 2 hours : Forked from user ajfoul to extend functionality of smoothie
laser power levels 0.0 to 1.0, generic Marlin power levels being 0 to 100.
Also: G28 at the end of the job doesn't seem to be working at the moment, at
least not when running the gcode on my machine.
07-March-2015 - 10 hours : Cleaned up the exporters code a lot. Added ppm and feedrate detection from
the layer name. Updated the gcode that is exported to be neater and work better with
pulsed mode using G01, G02 and G03 commands.
10.19.14 - G02 and G03 really screw things up, so I've set the default
min_arc_radius to 500 to force all cut moves to be G01. That has it's own
issues. At this point I wouldn't recommend using the Gcode from this for any
real jobs.

26-Feb-2015 - Forked from user ajfoul to extend functionality of smoothie

raster image detection and export support.

<_param name="fullhelp" type="description">TurnkeyLaser exports Inkscape paths to Gcode compatible with Ramps+Marlin or Smoothieware laser mainboards.
You're able to specify in your layer names the laser power output, feedrate and optionally the pulse per millimetre option for pulsed lasing mode as opposed to the default continuous wave operation mode.
1)Name your layer like the following example :
35 [feed=600,ppm=40]
2)Draw your designs and group them based on lasing options in the layer name.
3)Select the paths you want to export, then run this script.
In the example above the layer will be cut at 35% power with a feedrate of 600mm per minute and a pulse rate of 40 pulses per millimetre (at 60ms pulses).
If the ppm option isn't specified in the layer options then output lines will be cut in continuous wave mode at the power and feed specified.
If you do not specify the laser power or other options in the layer name then they will default to the options in the export dialog box under "Preferences".

Changelog 2012-01-12 - PAR:
* fixed bug in compile_paths when dealing with empty node data
Changelog 2011-10-16 - PAR:
* general code cleanup to make things more readable
* now inkscape coordinate system matches laser bed coordinate system
* removed "area curve" code, since it wasn't being used and wasn't working anyways
* cleanup of source code, reorganized the dialog window
Changelog 2011-08-06 - PAR:
* layer and group transforms now taken into account
* tool change now happens on every layer (only when multiple layers present)
* displays a message at the start of each layer
Changelog 2011-07-31 - PAR:
* misc bug fixes
* objects in document root (ie not in a layer) now outputted properly
* skips 'comment' layers (ie name prefixed with '#')
* warns about any selected objects not outputted by the script
Changelog 2011-07-01 - PAR:
* logging is now enabled by default
* handling groups and layers properly
* toolchange operation (M6) added between outputting layers
* removed 'options.ids' in favor of 'self.selected'
Changelog 2011-02-20 - Adina:
* removed any movement in the z axis when the laser is trying to etch a curve.
* removed extra M3s: the laser only turns on at the beginning of a cut block, not before every line.
Changelog 2010-04-07 - Adina:
* separate scaling factor for x and y,
* x and y scaled to mm or inches that match the dimensions in inkscape (not 1px = 1 in or mm)
Changelog 2010-04-20:
* made the .inx file refer to the correct .py file... it should work now?
Notes : M649 S100 L300 P10 - Laser 100 percent, pulses are each 300ms, and 10 pulses per mm.
Changelog 2015-02-01:
* Beginning of the project. Based on a fork from ShinyLaser(https://github.com/ajfoul/thlaser-inkscape-plugin)
Changelog 2015-02-16:
Added an option to export as Marlin or Smoothie Power levels
Changelog 2015-03-07:
Added capability to pick out power, ppm, feedrate etc from the layer names
Added code to support Pulse Per Minute burning or continuous burning. Will default to continuous.
M649 S100 L300 P10 - Set Laser settings to 100 percent power, pulses are each 300ms, and 10 pulses per mm.
G0 : Move to a new location with the laser off.
G1 : Move to a new location with the laser on.
G2 : Move in a Clockwise Arc
G3 : Move in a Counter Clockwise Arc
Name your layer like 10 [feed=600,ppm=40] for 10% power, 600mm per minute cut and 40 pulse per millimetre at 60ms duration
