CNC Control Software

For the CNC control software I've chosen the LinuxCNC. It's free, open source, easy to configure and use, and there's a huge community that continuously improves it. There's a ton of documentation about how to configure this software but the quick guide is a good place to start.

For the PCB machine code generation I user the free version of Eagle PCB and the awesome pcb-gcode plugin.

The sync tuning of these two tools can do all the difference between a nice clean PCB and a bad one.

I'll keep dumping my tune-up's here, along with pics of the results.

Cheers.
