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.

Easy CNC
Modular CNC software for Arduino controller
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. -

simutron
AVR simulator IDE
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 -

Rise and Shine LED Clock
Arduino Powered 60 RBG Pixel Clock, with 24h alarm and count down.
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. -

Manipulator or Industrial Robots MOtion Path 3D simulation and animat
The gMOP3D version 0.0.1 software is a Manipulator or Industrial Robots MOtion Path 3D simulation and animation system base on gnu. This software only do ari thmetic and calculating the path. It depends the OpenSCAD environment for simuation and animation of motion. You can use it simulating X Y Z coordinate CNC with out G code. It maybe use to axle running one straight line, as this straight path as the CNC linear motion system. This is the first software of me, so it may have alots of mistakes of code or others application problem, email to me: bywetech@foxmail.com Please reads OpenSCAD Manual at firstly. There have two parts of model build. First is build Manipulator(Industrial Robotic arm) axle rotate motion model. This have writed in source code, you can changing datas in gmp16.h. Second, terminal path model. The first version only support cube, cubic model, it support 1, translate, means cube path model 's position. 2, rotate, cube can -

Machinist Math Kit
Set of tools that help CNC machinists
A set of tools/calculators that help CNC machinists quickly handle math associated with machine technology. Will incorporate more calculators when they are ready the final product will probably be a single combined application. Currently available is a Mill Rate calculator that is recursive, meaning it changes the corresponding values as you manipulate the data. In the works is a Can Cycle calculator that functions the same way. -

PCIToGCode
Create G Code from a Picture of the PCI.
PCIToGCode is a software developed to convert an image of a printed circuit board (PCB) in to a G code file. Using the G code file, you can mill a PCB using a CNC milling machine. This software was developed to help and to speed up the manufacturing process of a PCB prototype. Using this software, you will be able to build your so expected project, extracted both from a magazine or from the Internet, which needs a PCB to be produced, without any complicated CAD software. Try out this software, and you will be glad about the results.
