These define the necessary step/dir PWM outputs for up to 5 axes and additional GPIO pins that you may use as desired (e.g. I only used the 7i92 because I already had a breakout-board with a parallel port, and only switched the control hardware.įor the MESA cards, there are firmware files available, directly from the manufacturer. I can also share my configuration files, since 7i92 and 7i76 are basically identical with regard to the interface to LinuxCNC. If you have problems, just ask in the linuxcnc forum or here. ini files that reflect your machine configuration, but example files and a configuration wizard will help you with that. The only difficult part is to generate the. It took me only a few hours to have it fully running without prior knowledge of LinuxCNC. learning it, I would say yes, it is easy enough. Servos can be directly connected to the respective outputs (apart from supply power, of course). The 7i76E not only comes with Ethernet, but also a huge amount of connections for any motors and sensors that you may need. TLDR: What do people think of these softwares today? What would you use? Is what I have found from my research accurate? It may also be helpful to know that I live in Australia. My cnc will be a 3 axis machine with servos and encoded spindle. Having a good support community is also super handy. I would love a decent interface and something relatively easy to use while not being too limited. Just to add some extra context here are a few things that I am interested in. Have been having trouble finding much info on this one. What I would love to know is whether Mach 4 is still bad or whether it has improved over time. I was thinking of using a Pokeys57CNC board with Mach 4 if I went down that route. What I would love to know is whether it is still any good and how it has been developing. My impressions of planet cnc from my research has been that it is a good software that is fairly modern but is fairly limited in terms of modifications and support. I will summarise what I have found so far and if people have up to date information that they could share that would be great. The trouble I am having is knowing where these setups are at in 2021. At this stage I am looking into Mach 4, planetCNC and UCCNC. Firstly, I realise this question is probably as old as time but I have done a lot of research and haven't found a whole lot of information that is up to date.īasically I want a control board and software setup that will work with either USB or Ethernet (basically not parallel port).
