converting xy cartesian G code to polar coordinate G code


 

Has anyone created a excel spreadsheet or know of a program that will take XY g code and convert it to polar coordinate g code using G 16. I\m building a scar robotic arm and need such a program.

Why not use LinuxCNC? It can take in Cartesian G-code and move generic robots with a variety of kinematics such as a SCARA-type design.
