WEBHardware to run the LinuxCNC software. A computer is required to run LinuxCNC itself. Minimum computer requirements can be found in the LinuxCNC docs: http://LinuxCNC.org/docs/stable/html/getting-started/system-requirements.html. The most common is to use a x86 computer (standard Intel / AMD computer)
WEBSep 26, 2017 · Replied by rodw on topic What hardware do I need, exactly. The 7i76e is probably the best option for what you want to do. Here's mine in my control box. There's probbaly a lot more here than you will need. but the 7i76e is bottom right with Mesa THCAD beside it on left. 48 volt power supply top right.
WEBDec 24, 2023 · Current release: 2.9.2. LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3D printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more. Runs under Linux (optionally with realtime extensions). Simple installation on Debian and Ubuntu, or via our Live/Install DVD/USB images.

WEBPurpose. LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen, interactive ...
WEBLinuxCNC¶ Which version do I need? That depends on hardware for example if you have a bleeding edge video card it may only work with the latest version of Debian. If you have very old PC you might need an older version of Debian. If your restoring an old install of LinuxCNC 2.7 you might want Debian 9.
WEBLinux. LinuxCNC runs on Linux. If you haven't ever used Linux before, it can be a bit frustrating when you boot it up and try and find your way around (like any operating system that is new can be). We are starting to put together some basic resources for new Linux users on this page.
WEBWhen running LinuxCNC the latency for timing is very important. LinuxCNC runs best on a Linux real-time kernel, either RTAI or PREEMPT_RT, which are built to run tasks in real-time. The hardware can be put into two different categories depending on how it will interface with the PrintNC.
