A new version of myCNC software (version 1.88.4151) has been released.
New features
2-axis configurations support for Creasing Wheel and Pen setups when using the DXF import, in addition to the existing Knife and Half-Knife configurations:
Select the Knife check mark for the 2-axis configuration to be mirrored across to the Pen tool.
Bug fixes
Fixed an issue with the DXF import not correctly recognizing the 2-axis configurations at low turning angles (Z-axis motor movements were added despite 2-axis configuration being selected).
You can update through the Support tab in the myCNC settings:
Stay tuned for more updates!
Hello everyone!
In the upcoming software release of myCNC, software PLC commands have been expanded, with some new capabilities added.
1. Ability to move your axes directly from software PLC by using the 100020-100027 variables.
Example to move 100 mm in the X-axis:
gvarset(100020, 100);
2. Ability to launch Hardware PLCs from your Software PLC commands. This is done via the 100041 and 100040 commands.
Example to launch Hardware PLC M607 with the eparam 333:
gvarset(100041, 333);
gvarset(100040, 607);

A new set of cutcharts is available for HPR400XD power sources (normal and bevel cutting).
Cutting parameters such as your Cutting speed, Current, Arc voltage, Ignition Height, Pierce height, and others can be loaded from the Cutcharts depending on the plasma power source, material type, material thickness and gases used.
Such a cutchart database is stored in the myCNC software as an SQLite database file. The new set of HPR400XD SQLite cutcharts can be downloaded from our Downloads page:

A new revision of the myCNC-ET6 (ET6R4C) controller board will be available soon to purchase through our online store. Notable changes include slight realignment of the component parts to prevent issues with input ports plug-in alignment as described here.
The new board versions will be available in the Shop in about two weeks from this blog post date. This new board version will be replacing the myCNC-ET6-R3C version currently available.
Stay tuned for more updates!
A new ISO image file for Raspberry Pi 4 is now available on our Downloads page. Raspberry Pi 4 computers with myCNC controllers provide a compact, easy-to-use CNC solution to clients looking to upgrade to a smaller, more affordable system.
The new version has been tested on the 2GB/4GB/8GB versions of the Raspberry Pi 4, and will be replacing the older Raspberry disk image, which was previously tested and configured only for the 2GB configuration.
For any issues noted with the new release, please reach out to us using the Contact Us page. Stay tuned for further updates!
