Open Source C++ CNC Software

The EdytorNC project now consists of four applications that can be useful for programming and operating CNC machine tools. EditorNC is a specialised text editor for CNC programmers. FTPserver is a simple FTP server for transferring cnc programs to and from the machine. SerialPortFileServer is a simple server for transferring cnc programmes to and from the machine via RS232 ports. ProgramManager is a program that makes it easy to search for cnc programs based on, for example, part number, part name contained in the first three comments in the cnc program. Some EdytorNC features : bolt holes calculation; solutions of triangles calculation; speed, feed calculation; conversion inch/mm, mm/inch; code colouring; RS232 data transmission with automatic file saving and possibility to download new CNC program directly from machine (beta function, look in tool tips in serial port configuration dialog). Clipboard to keep texts from system clipboard.

The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters.

The Rise and Shine LED clock has been designed to educate and encourage hacking and modifying of both software and hardware. This is a analogue style digital clock with multiple display states, a 24 hour alarm, a count down alarm, multiple alarm display states and a demo mode. One of the alarm states is a dawn simulating alarm, where the lights gradually come on over 20 minutes, enducing a natural waking sleeping pattern, with out the shock of a abrupt noisy alarm sound. Hence the name "Rise and Shine", although the name also works well with the educational objectives.

A Windows only 2.5D CAD CAM application. The user experience tightly integrates the CAM aspects when doing design and layout. The target users will layout their design and then immediately generate CNC code. The goal is a design application closer to Adobe Illustrator than to AutoCAD. The user specifies machining aspects during object creation so that when the design/layout phase is completed the toolpath generation can occur automatically. What is 2.5D? Objects created are flat (2D) but have a depth component. So you can create a square that will be machined at a specific depth but the depth will be constant accross the square. It is not/does not: A general purpose CAD (AutoCAD) type program. Support reference dimension on the drawing. Export or import major CAD file formats.

Electronic circuit simulator. Simple environment to run and debug firmware for AVR 8-bit microprocessors. Able to run arduino firmware. Internally this program uses the open source Simavr AVR Processor Simulator (https://github.com/buserror/simavr) and wraps all its functions in a GUI shell. Setups for firmware debugging scenarios can be created dynamically. Able to run 16MHz MCU with decent set of external parts in real time. In particular this can be used for development of CNC firmware in conjuction with its CAM frontend without access to the real hardware. For Linux and Windows systems. Please visit wiki pages (https://sourceforge.net/p/simutron/wiki/Home/) for instructions

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.

A HID interface component for LinuxCNC/EMC. HID is USB speak for Human Interface Device, that is, input/output USB devices such as joysticks, gamepads, CNC pendants. This component was built to support devices that weren't handled by stock LinuxCNC/EMC components.

"ncdr2cnc" - N/C Drill to CNC code (G-Code) is the simple utility, which converts N/C drill files to G-Code files (adopted to Turbo CNC).

GNU CNC CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) Tool for converting DXF (CAD) Files to G-Code (RS-274) NC-Files.

Universal CNC for COM port. It's software to control CNC using arduino board(RC servo+Encoders). It has build in CAM software.

XinCNC is a free software for Computer Numerical Control (CNC).

This is CAM module for Open Source Digital Laboratory project (https://osdlab.sourceforge.io). Reccommended for russia shool education. Based on C++/Qt.

This is a open source 3D laser scanner targeted for CNC machinery but not only.

APTOS is an open source Apt translator project. It consists of several CAM applications, based on the Apt programming language. It is used to create control programs for cnc mills, lathes, water jets, lasers, and other industrial equipment.

CamelCAM will allow the user (in time, when/if fully functional) to load CAD 3D geometry objects from DXF, IGES and possibly other file formats, choose a particular CNC machine model, set needed parameters and then generate an ISO program suited for that CNC machine, capable of milling/lathing the selected piece.

Cnc's IP Data Volume Report: Logs IP to IP contact, number of packets, bytes, time of contact, Ethernet too! View via local web interface. Very simple for those who want to view who your computer is contacting the most!

Command line tool to generate Gcode for CNC applications from DXF files. Originally written for 2-axis machines such as foam cutters, it now supports 3-axis machines.

FTP BNC. File Transfer Protocol Bouncer. Allows Any one to setup a Bouncer to a ftp server. Uses, mask the real identity of a ftp server, provide link over lans running NAT or etc. Proxy and FXP modes. Commands, or commands and data in proxy, data in FXP

4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system for CNC / machine control applications. Using low-cost hardware, FabBSD can be used to control a wide array of CNC milling machines, lathes, routers, process-control and automation equipment.

GCVE : 'Grbl Controller Visualizer Extended' is a 3D extension of old GrblController-3.6.1
