G-code Help

Hi, I've tried multiple post-processors to create G-code for my robot, aiming to convert it into actual commands for execution. Some post-processors didn’t work at all, while others only ran a portion of the code, and most ended up doing nothing. Could you please help me find a reliable post-processor that generates effective G-code? I’m currently using Fusion 360, DeskProto, or similar programs to create G-code.

Tnx aloot

Chris has this video showing Inkscape + JScut to generate GCode on his you tube channel.

After running some tests, I successfully converted the G-code.

I used the LinuxCNC post-processor and, for now, DeskProto. It's a straightforward program suitable for both 2D and 3D machining, license for multi-axis operations, so you can used for free.

I am using Deskproto, it works fine. I made a post-processor to make it compatible to AR4. I have only the Problem that it will allways doing outlines (two lines) and i can‘t find out to remove them.

I've watched that video multiple times. I'm asking again: which post-processor does JScut use as its basis? I'd like to explore using other programs for generating G-code

OK Understood. I am also working on G-code and followed the path as per video 1/Inkscape 2/Jscut 3/Transform G-code --> Robotic arm code 4/ Run the code. Facing many issues at the moment in final step of "Run the Code". The robot comes to an unusual halt after just 1-2 steps and I get an unknown error etc. Would be interested to know how the experience is for you.
