Host software

The primary application used to interact with the CNC machine itself is called LinuxCNC, and is used for everything from parsing and simulating G-code to communicating directly with the machine via the 5i25 expansion card.

LinuxCNC is complex and somewhat difficult to learn, so more thorough documentation is being made available on the dedicated Software page.

If you are a member of TC Maker and would like to help improve this documentation, please shoot me a message and I'll get you added as a collaborator!
