Am new to the forum and the world of CNC Shark. Since the file type for the machine control is .tap and that file type is similar to a .txt file, will the control accept a .txt file that I prepared offline?
I want to program some simple 2d geometry directly in to the control. Any help on this out there?

Re: direct input to the control
The .tap file is just g-code, so you can edit it yourself or even create one from scratch if you'd prefer.
Re: direct input to the control
thank you for the response. Can I input a .text gcode file to the control?
Re: direct input to the control
Yup, and if it won't recognize the .txt file extension, just change that to .tap or .nc and it should be just fine.albers wrote:thank you for the response. Can I input a .text gcode file to the control?
