K40 Whisperer is an alternative to the Laser Draw (LaserDRW) program that comes with the cheap Chinese laser cutters available on E-Bay and Amazon. K40 Whisperer 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.
K40 Whisperer is a free open-source program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Changes in Version 0.62:
- Fixed problem when using M3 Nano board, new job finished code is now detected.
- Fixed problem when using M3 Nano board, laser no longer remains on while moving back to starting position after raster engraving.
- Fixed registration issue between raster and vector operations when custom rapid speed was used.
- Added Option in the Tools menu that may unfreeze the controller after a job is improperly terminated (will not always work)
Changes in Version 0.63:
- Fixed rapid moves with M3 Nano board. Rapid moves failed if the move command filled exactly one packet of data. Sending an additional packet of data without any data after the full packet resolved the issue.
Changes in Version 0.64:
- Fixed arcs being drawn in the wrong direction when the radius value was specified as a negative number in an SVG file.
Changes in Version 0.65:
- Updated to work with latest Pillow release (changed ANTIALIAS call to LANCZOS)
Changes in Version 0.66:
- Fixed error that occurred with Inkscape 1.3 and files with empty text objects
