linuxcnc-uspace 2.9.0~pre1+git20230208.f1270d6ed7-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu noble
LinuxCNC is a fully-realised CNC machine controller that can interpret
machine-control programs (such as G-code), plan trajectories and finally
output low-level signals to machine control hardware
.
LinuxCNC is modular and in principle the HAL (hardware abstraction layer),
pluggable interpreters and variety of hardware drivers mean that it can
control almost any software-defined physical system.
.
LinuxCNC relies on a realtime kernel to support real-time motion control,
typically updating the position waypoints every 1mS and reacting to
input within tens of microseconds.
.
Modules exist to use the low-level parts of LinuxCNC as a motion-control
client for OpenPnP. Interfaces exist for ROS (the Robot Operating System)
with which LinuxCNC has considerable overlap.
.
LinuxCNC supports arbitrary kinematics (the mapping between coordinate
space and actuator space) and can control both parallel (eg Stewart
platform) and serial (eg robot arm) systems in addition to conventional
cartesian machine tools.
.
LinuxCNC supports 9 cartesian axes and 16 "Joints" (individual actuators)
though the joint limit is build-time configurable.
.
A variety of interface hardware is supported including Modbus, EtherCAT,
analogue +/-10V velocity control and Step/Dir. Step/Dir is supported by
several hardware interfaces, including, but not limited to, the legacy
Parallel Port.
.
A Hardware Abstraction Layer allows for great flexibility in signal
mapping between the controller and the driver hardware. An extensive
library of modules allow for complex signal processing within the HAL
layer. For specialised tasks custom HAL components can be created using
a C-like syntax and installed with the supplied tools.
.
By default LinuxCNC supports RS274 G-code but is extendable to parse
other grammars such as STEP-NC or Gerber through support for pluggable
interpreters.
.
If you want a computer to control things in the real world
then LinuxCNC can do it. It is especially applicable to systems that
are required to follow accurate paths described in cartesian space but
has been used for numerous other applications.
.
This package provides the main package for LinuxCNC.
