Did you get your UCCNC to work in inches?
I'm looking for a checkbox in the config screen(s) but I see nothing.
I read people are talking about changing SHORTCUTS on the Windows screen? What is that supposed to do?
I don't know what a profile is supposed to look like. Anyone?

I have UUCNC set up on a plasma table and the 1" squares i'm cutting are VERY SMALL. as its trying to cut something near millimeters. I'm dong this build for a shop that uses Imperial ("Footric")


Another question: How do I calibrate the motor pulses to known distances like the steps per distance settings that Mach 3 has? I need to SEE this, Telling me it exists isn't an answer.
I measure off the number of MM's in a given distance, say 4 feet, and it goes to about 5.25 feet.
Thanks in advance!

If you running imperial then set up the "steps per units" parameter for inches and that's all you have to do.
The motor pulses to know distances is the "steps per units" parameter.
Each axis has that parameter on the axes settings pages.
There is also calibration button with which you can calibrate the steps per units value using movement and measurement.
As far as I remember this all work the same as in mach3.

What button, where?
That would be so helpful. I'm using servos with __?__ number of pulses per motor revolution. Then the motor' shaft(s) feeds into A SPEED REDUCER of UNKNOWN RATIO. I have no way of knowing how many steps per inch or millimeter or whatever


Edit.
Well I feel dumb. THAT button, THERE lol I found it.
I had no idea this machine could move so fast. Holy cows...

THANK YOU GUYS!

If you don't know then you cannot make it work. Not only UCCNC, but then it will not work with any control software. It would not work with mach3/4, linuxcnc etc. For all softwares you need to know and set the steps per values to let the software know what distances to move your axes.
As I said there is also a calibration button with which you can figure the steps per value of the axis driving mechanism.

Found that button, and its similar in function to Mach 3 which I'm familiar with. It computes the steps required for any arbitrary length, regardless of the unit. I finally get it.
