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
  • to to expensive
  • fast


possible Solutions

= Smoothie board

  • CNC Contoller


Todo

  • Evaluate Controller Software
  • Find matching controller Hardware (like this or that.)
