Created attachment 193662 [details] Patch adding a new cad/k40-whisperer port (0.19) It is a software to control some models of CNC laser cutters. QA: - manual testing on FreeBSD 12.0 r333659 amd64. Works as intended; I was able to control one of the supported laser cutter. - portlint -AC - poudriere testport 11.1 amd64 Doubts: - I am not sure about the category. K40 Whisperer is not a CAD program. From what I've heard it should be categorized as CAM. Interestingly, there are some CAM packages under cad category.

It reads SVG and DXF files, interprets the data and sends commands to the K40 controller to move the laser head and control the laser accordingly. K40 Whisperer does not require a USB key (dongle) to function. Features: - Reads SVG files and DXF files. - Splits input design based on color formatting (red, blue). - In SVG files blue and red paths are interpreted as vectors for vector engraving and cutting. Everything else is transferred as a raster image. - In DXF files blue paths are interpreted as vector engrave (blue). Everything else is interpreted as vector cut (red). - Performs cuts on features inside of other features before cutting the outside features. (If you cut the outside first the part might drop out of the stock material.) - Converts gray scale images to halftone images to simulating varying levels of gray (i.e. engraving pictures). The Halftone option needs to be selected under "Raster"-"Settings" to enable halftoning.
