RapidReversalify with Python

UPDATED: you need to pause between reverse and forward commands. still working out why, exactly...


This is for testing rapid reversal in gcode for RepRap, MakerBot, etc. It does a find and replace of M103 and M101 lines in your gcode file.

Detailed instructions are in the top of the file.

Use it like the following:
python RAPID_REVERSALify.py FILE.gcode printRPM reversalRPM waitTime
e.g.:
python RAPID_REVERSALify.py oozebane.gcode 2.857 25 200

you will get the printout:
we will print at 2.857 RPM
we will rapid reverse at 25.0 RPM
we will wait for 200 ms during rapid reversal

and the file:
oozebane_RAPID_REVERSAL.gcode
will be created
