Add-In: PostToAxis

Been working on an addin for fusion 360 to send data to LinuxCNC Axis.

If you want to try it out it can be found at:
https://github.com/tomaswilhelmsson/PostToAxis

There is an installer in the "Setup" folder that will copy the addin and needed files to the Fusion 360 addin folder.

If you want you can build it yourself with Visual Studio.

After installation navigate to:
%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\AddIns\PostToAxis\Server
and copy the server2.py to an USB memory or however you want to move it.
Copy the file to the LinuxCNC computer and run it by:
"python server2.py" and let that run int he background.

Now activate the addin in Fusion, an icon will pop up by the "Setup Sheet" etc at the top menu.
Press it, enter ip adress and port 9992 into "IP Adress"/"Port" fields.

Then just select the Setup you want to post if.
If you want to send the whole Setup only select a Setup.
If you want to send partial of that Setup, Select operations you want to send under the "Operations" drop down.

This is software under development that is not completley done but starting to feel i need testers of it 😃

Limitations that is known:
Server does not check match of the MD5 checksum of the file at the moment.
Server side tcp/ip code is not very robust so might crash.
The options for the post processor is not settable so it will produce generic code out of the post processor.
When no setup is selected the Operations menu is populated by all operations, it should not.
Not tested with patterns yet.
As far as i know, only works on Windows.

Hope it works and can help your work flow in the shop! 😃

Best regards

/ Tomas
