This is a milling machine driver that can be managed from a web browser.
Disclaimer: I wrote this app to learn how CNC machines, G-code etc. work - it may not be stable yet. If you want to get actual stuff done, you may prefer to use different, production-ready milling machine software.
This tool, by default, uses an Arduino microcontroller connected via serial port
that interfaces with stepper motor drivers. The output pin numbers for DIR and PUL
stepper motor driver inputs for each axis are currently defined in
src/machine/arduino/main/pinout.h.
To upload the code to your Arduino microcontroller, run the following commands,
assuming your Arduino binary resides in $HOME/Downloads/arduino-1.8.*/arduino:
cd src/machine/arduino/
ARDUINO_BINARY=$HOME/Downloads/arduino-1.8.*/arduino make uploadTo run this tool, you need to install python3 and python3-virtualenv.
You don't have to have an Arduino - without it, you will still be able to play with the tool - but without any actual milling.
To run the web interface, execute the following command:
./launch.shThe interface will listen on http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
To check the code style, execute the following command:
./run_flake8.shTo run the tests, execute the following command:
./run_tests.sh
