myCNC - CNC control software

I'd like to announce myCNC software.

myCNC software works with myCNC controllers (USB, Ethernet/LAN, RS485) and drives up to 6 axes motion and rich peripherals (like PWMs, ADCs, DAC, relays, transistor open collector outputs, binary inputs).

myCNC is the first multi-platform CNC solution and works under Linux, MS Windows, Mac OS.

Main features:

* True Multi-platform solution.
* Graphical User Interface (GUI) including Touch Screen version;
* G-codes interpreter/compiler with 2D/3D visualisation (Visualisation of linear axes XYZ and rotational axes ABC), zooming/scrolling/rotation features;
* True multi-tasking. Working in Shapes Library or NC Graphic editor is available simlultaneously with machine operation;
* True simultaneous 6 axes interpolation (linear, arc, helical, spline, nurbs(*));
* Flexible controller peripherals control through integrated PLC (Programmed Logic Controller);
* Flexible screen design through rich XML-based configuration system;
* Shape Library with row and column nesting features;
* Stand alone mode support - working myCNC control without PC connection;
* Internal G-codes editor with 2D/3D visualization;
* DXF and HPGL CAD files import, export(*);
* Forward and Backward running mode, step running mode, easy restart anywhere along the programme, full reverse along cut.
* Complete network support, wifi solution available;
* Flexible rotate, zoom and flip transformations;
* Look-ahead features with Automatic small hole slowdown;
* many other features;

myCNC control software is free and available for download, evaluation and testing on our website.

Interested to know why you have to register to see pricing, is it that expensive?

Software is free, controller boards are not very expensive.
We just like to have some feedback. It will take a couple of minutes to register on the website. You may email/chat/skype to us as well.

Looking at it briefly it appears to be front end software but what hardware does it work with specifically?
Will it integrate with Dynomotion for e.g.?

i think he said it works with the mycnc boards. i imagine that makes it a closed system.

Looks like it is CMS bug, sorry for the inconvenience.
I enabled both of your accounts. If it doesn't work, please email me or report here.

We have USB & Ethernet control boards, that include 6 axes motion control and peripherals (PWMs, DAC, ADC, IO) managed through integrated PLC.
myCNC boards & myCNC software is a CNC control solution we offer.

myCNC for Android

We have compiled myCNC control software for Google Android.
I hope myCNC-android will be available for testing soon.

At the moment 2D visualization only is available for Android. We are working on Open-GL ES support.

manuals

Hi mycnc,
I have been looking at you controls, and software (price for the controls is very reasonable) but I have downloaded the software and been playing with it. But dont seem to be able to get it to work very well. Have you got a you tube video of how to use the software.
Basic items like inporting files. And how to get the parts from the library and cut them.
every time i try and run a simulated cut it says that i must return to nc trace??

Other than that I am quite excited about changeing my controls over to yours

thanks

Hi,
library parts were broken in some of previous releases. We will fix it asap. Sorry.

If nc-program starts with G0 positioning command, running may be started from anywhere.

Looks like you try to start ESSI nc-program. For this programs (and some others) the software remember StartProgram position and check if Current position is the same as StartPosition. You may choose "Return to Path" and then start running, or "Tie program" - shift all the path to make CurrentPosition as StartProgram Position - then start running.

It can be used for example -
1)You have nc program with many parts, you cut some of them, stop cutting, jog to the edge of the table to check the tool, then "Return to Path" and continue cutting.
2)you cut some parts, stop cutting, jog to other part of the table where you have another sheet, then "Tie program" and continue cutting next parts on another place.

We extermely have no time to create good documentation, but video tutorial is a great idea, thanks. We will make it and put links here and on our website.

post processor

Thanks for that information mycnc.

I have a couple more questions for you.

1. in the manual it says to open the mycnc core and select s for simulation.Is this still the case or are these instructions from before you merged the GIU with core?

2.What post processor do you recommend to create the g code?.Currently I use sheetcam.

3. Is it best to ask questions on cnc zone or on your support forum.

4. I currently use mach3, which has a cutting profile library built in. you can call up voltage, material, amps used, select gas pressure,THC delays e.t.c.
I know that mycnc software would be more than capable of handling this sort of information, but I may ( along with others) find this a hard task to create this kind of library.Would you be able to configure a template that the user would be able to complete and intergrate with the cutting parameters in the future?

Thanks

Hi again mycnc

I have another one for you, the voltage display doesnt seem to be working?

Hi,
I'm not sure about this forum rules, so it's better to discuss technical questions on my support forum.

core and interface programs were merged, but start options are still available.
-e ethernet boards
-u usb boards
-s simulator mode
-d debug info
-p profile_name - will start software with given profile
options may be merged, for example
-de -p Plasma -------- will start with Ethernet board, profile from "Plasma" folder

To be honest - I don't know exactly.
For G-code language implementation I'm using "CNC Programming Handbook" by Peter Smid and G-code language description from LinuxCNC project. Some of language extensions (about parameterized programming) we added ourself, so it's not standard.
We have Pro-Engineer software, there are about 6 Fanuc postprosessors, 2 of them suit perfectly to myCNC.
I'm afraid - you need to test to find out the right one. You may send me samples to find- what's wrong.

We had this kind of options in previous generation of software. We will add it asap to myCNC. We appreciate any kind of customer suggestion

For THC control we use myTHC-RU01 board. It is connected to main controller through RS 485. Settings and commands from the software transferred directly to THC board, the software displays data from THC.
So Volatge and other THC settings works with hardware, but it is not implemented for simulator.

Thank you for your interest,
regards,
myCNC

hi my-cnc,

i just registered on your support forum but i just waiting to activated my account...

i have so many question about your software... i just downloaded your software and install it on my laptop.

1. how to changed the language to English
2. i cannot find the start bottom to start cutting.

Also right now i am using usbcnc by edingcnc and i plan to change the controller with your controller , i thinking to use the Ethernet CNC controller myCNC-ET1 of yours.

my question is can i used my existing stepper drive and stepper motor to your to your Ethernet CNC controller myCNC-ET1.

here is the spec. of my stepper drive and stepper motor

Also your THC are suitable to use in acetylene fuel torch or not? because right now i am using acetylene fuel and maybe in future i will use also plasma.

Hi,
to change language-
1.select Settings tab widget
2. select system settings
3. choose the last section to open it (preferences)
4. choose the last item (language selection)
5. In new dialog select the language
6. Press OK
7. Press save button and restart myCNC software

No, myTHC board measures Plasma arc voltage and uses this siganl as feedback to keep stable torch height.

For gas cutting you need capacitory sensor. We have this sensors for our previous generation cnc systems. At the moment myCNC doesn't support capacitory sensors.

yes, no problem.

myCNC controls have PULSE-DIR outputs and compatible with any stepper/servo drivers, that accept this signals.
Pulse width is flexibly configured.

Raspberry Pi (Linux Embedded) port of myCNC control software is under developing.
We've got preliminary version of myCNC working under Raspberry Pi (ARM based credit sized computer).
