Coding Gadgets

Post by mrramsey1969 »

So I have a couple of general questions about creating gadgets.

1. What language are they written in?
2. Is there code editor available?

They are written in Lua and you can use whichever editor you prefer as they are just text files.

I like to use Visual Studio Code personally as it fits in well with all the languages I code in but everyone has their favourite.

You can download the Gadget SDK (documentation and samples) from here - https://gadgets.vectric.com/developerinfo

1. Lua is the language

2. I like using zerobrane at https://studio.zerobrane.com/ it has debugging and I have added the Vectric function libraries. And it is the same editor in other CNC tools (Mach4, etc..)

My Zerobrane Setup: https://jimandi.com/SDK/index.php?title ... udio_Setup
My Vectric Syntax Libraries: https://jimandi.com/SDK/index.php?title ... _Libraries
My Vectric SDK Tool Kit: https://jimandi.com/SDK/index.php?title ... or_Gadgets
My Reference and Video Training: https://jimandi.com/SDK/index.php?title=Main_Page

I also have Gadgets and starter kits you can download on the My site: https://www.jimandi.com/VCarve-Tools/Index.html
Thanks,
Jim
