Additional Information: Additional Information: EasyDNC for OSX Additional Information: Additional Information: Hi guys I’m new to the cnc and I’m beginning to learn how to operate and cad-cam software also my cnc runs on Mach3 my questions is if I should use MacBook to do all designs if I can have all this software to run on Mac or I have to use windows software to operate it? I have separate small computer connected to the cnc table who have Mach3 on it please help.

Personally, I would use the Mac to do all the CAD/CAM, then use a cheap PC to run the CNC machine. I haven't been able to find anything like these programs that runs on Mac, so you may have to run Mach3 or EMC in Windows using Boot Camp or a virtual machine such as VMware or Parallels. CAD/CAM will get you as far as designing your parts and producing the g-code, but if you also want to run the CNC machine with your Mac, you will need a piece of software similar to Mach3 or EMC to run the g-code. There are a few CAM plugins for SketchUp as well, but I've never used them, so I can't vouch for them. Here is a list of a few: I've also read good things about punchCAD: Of course, there is always SketchUp if you are in a pinch. There are several CAD/CAM programs out there for MacOS. Currently it is firing using the Z axis but leaves the laser on after a run or when the emergency stop is activated. It will be in at the beginning of the y connection, ( ) so you will cut power to both instead of just the CNC electronics.Ĭlick the link to add information to this solution: Need help configuring Planet CNC software to control laser firing. When activating the emergency e-stop, (personal opinion) I would wire the e-stop at the beginning of the live/load wire going to the electronics power supply and the laser power supply. This will turn of the laser, rather than the laser staying on and at its current height.
Make sure that your clearance plane value is very small (ex.) 0.001 above 0 and activates at -0.001 also adding a additional g-code manually that raises the z-axis towards the end of the job/run(only if experienced would we recommend using this). To stop the laser completely from continuous firing after a job is complete, I recommend to have your file to end while reaching the clearance plane which you will enter in your CAM software.

PLANET CNC MENTIONED AS BEING COMPATIBLE. The former solution of getting a parallel port adapter card to plug into the motherboard is probable the easiest and least expensive option. Some motherboard also come with a parallel port header (connector) on the motherboard and a simple cable can be connected to this connector to get that functionality on the computer. If you are concerned with your computer (desktop) not having a parallel port, one can be purchased and inserted into a PCI slot on the motherboard. The USB interface board that we sell can only be used with the Planet-cnc control software. The parallel breakout board is compatible to a wide variety of software control packages. Planet-CNC is compatible with our electronic combo's that included our USB Breakout Board. Mach 3 is compatible with our electronic combo's that include the Parallel Breakout Board.
