The FlashCut Software running under Windows is the CAD/CAM interface and CNC operator control panel. It is difficult to get the importance of certain things, like two plate tool changes, and coordinate systems, and more, it is difficult to get the "shop floor" real world across to the open developers.FlashCut CNC controller kits are composed of the following parts: The developers are great people, but it seems they just are not machinists. I mention the "two plate" tool change because it is one of my pet peeves about most (all?) of the open source stuff. Easy to configure, supports true "two plate" tool length for tool change, and a ton of other stuff.

Things I fought with forever on the other combinations of open source, they all work the day you install PCNC. This is by far my favorite of all above.Īs such, I'd HIGHLY recommend PlanetCNC on a Pi 3B+ plugged into a Monitor/Mouse/Keyboard.

PlanetCNC with their software on Rpi, plugged into a 24" flat monitor, mouse, keyboard, PLUS the Kindle tablet with VNC.

TinyG with CNCjs on Rpi with screen/keyboard/mouse, plus the fire with VNC.

This seemed like a good idea, but the Fire HD screen is just too small.

TinyG with CNCjs on Raspberry PI, with Kindle Fire HD running VNC.

)įor the PC, I buy off-lease corporate desktop crap for well under a $100 and replace it when the dust kills it. Really reduced cut times and produced higher quality.

TinyG with Chilipepper (Incredibly smooth acceleration handling, MUCH better than Mach.

Mach 4 I rejected just by looking at it.

Mach 3 with smoothstepper Ethernet (worked well).

Mach 3 with smoothstepper USB (USB was very flakey).

On my homemade 24" (600MM) x 60" (1520MM) by 5" (120mm) Z travel CNC Router, which has made thousands of cuts over the last 8 years, and was in heavy commercial use for some of those years, I've been through the following PC / Board combinations: The workspace is about 100x50x30 cm and will mostly be used for engraving small parts, cutting stickers, carving wood and occasionally aluminium.Īny help or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks. The current is about 2.5A but I don't have an exact number. The machine is leadscrew driven by NEMA 17's for x and y and 14 for z, the X drives 2 leadscrews via a timing belt. What I would like to know is what the most logical choice would be for a controller. I've been looking for quite some time but cannot decide on the best option, hence I turn here for advice. Now I'm on the hunt for a replacement that allows me to get the same or better results but maybe over WiFi or USB. The current controller is a German 4-axis controller that communicates over a parallel port (DB25) and has 1/8th microstepping capability. The machine is about 20 years old and has great accuracy and quality parts, the problem is the original controller broke. I have a 4-axis hobby cnc machine that needs a new controller.
