We need to find the best Software stack to drive our CNC mill.
The tool chain need three parts:
- CAD/CAM Systems (to produce gcode from 3D model)
- CNC Controller Software (to feed the gcode to the machine)
- Software on Controller to translate gcode into stepper commands (can be part of CNC Controller)
Requirements
- more or less easy to use
- manual operation with external controller possible
- not to expensive
- fast
- Able to control break on Z axis
possible Solutions
= Smoothie board
- CNC Contoller
