Firmware / Embedded Microcontroller based Computer Numerical Control

Dedicated Motion Controllers translate a path description (typically G-CODE) into signals (typically Step and Direction) in real time to drivers that then cause stepper or other motors to move the axis of a machine. This can be done on a PC via CNC Applications, but because standard operating systems are NOT design for real time control, it can be best to use a seperate embedded motion controller and simply relay G-CODE or other commands from the main system.

Common examples are the ubiquitous Marlin^ / RAMPS combination for 3D printers, and grbl^ / shield or TinyG^ / sheild for CNC. An ultra low cost opiton is our BOB Motion Control g-code to multi-axis step/direction motor driver. These accept G-CODE but have no other user interface. A program like Universal G-CODE Sender can provide a minimal interface. They put out step and direction commands via the Pololu compatible headers. This can be adapted to the PMinMO standard by our Adapter Cable

In some cases, a PC based CNC application can work closely with the embedded unit to provide a seamless user interface with GUI controls. For example, https://www.poscope.com/product/pokeys57cnc/ is a MACH 3 recommended USB Motion Controller with PMinMO compatible connectors for direct connection to open source stepper drivers like the THB6064AH or Linistepper or servo drivers like the BOB PID.

A common language for specifying the desired location and speed of movement is G-CODE
