This is a post processor file for the FreeCAD Path workbench. It is used to
take a pseudo-G-code fragment outputted by a Path object, and output
real G-code suitable for Dynapath Delta 40,50, & 60 Controls. It has been written
and tested on FreeCAD Path workbench bundled with FreeCAD v21.
This post processor, once placed in the appropriate PathScripts folder, can be
used directly from inside FreeCAD, via the GUI importer or via python scripts with:
