Good idea to look at GPX!
I've looked at the GPX source (https://github.com/whpthomas/GPX) and it seems like only the 2.0 Alpha has serial support.
I've been running 1.4 (the only version which is available as a Windows exe - from his thingiverse page http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:81425)
In 1.4, the -s flag allows stdin and stdout support for pipes; in 2.0 it's for serial (which I want!). Do I need to compile the source to an exe to get it to work on Windows? The makefile only releases as a tar. As you can probably tell I have very little experience with cross platform stuff like this.
Am I looking at this wrong? How'd you get it to work on Windows? Is the command something like "$gpx -s inputfile.gcode COM12" ? (with the -g and r1d flags setup in the .ini file)
Thanks again for the help.
