With the pixel locations on the left and right side of CNC bed, their physical locations of those, we can determine the phyiscal location of any pixel on the image, and thus we can then overlay a GCODE path and where it will cut in the real world onto the image, getting a cut preview. +![How It Works](howItWorks.png) diff --git a/cutPath.PNG b/cutPath.PNG new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4437458 Binary files /dev/null and b/cutPath.PNG differ diff --git a/howItWorks.PNG b/howItWorks.PNG new file mode 100644 index 0000000..14cacd2 Binary files /dev/null and b/howItWorks.PNG differ
