About

Software

Source code on GitHub
Windows releases also on GitHub

Motion controller comes with control firmware suitable for running small CNC machines, g-code commands are clear and more than suitable software protocol. While g-code can be written in plain text by hand and already available g-code senders can be used, it is much nicer to have dedicated software. Main window is designed to be minimalistic to hide irrelevant information.

At the same time script processor is very flexible and allows selection from many modes and multiple parameters. Once script/recipe is fine tuned it can be saved for later use.

Running on Windows

There are two ways to run program on Windows:
