Here a list of working configurations and special requirements for operating.
- Download and copy onto an SD card the most recent Raspbian image from raspberrypi.org
- Do the standard setup of an RPi image, expanding the file system and setting it boot to the GUI.
- Connect the RPi to the internet via Ethernet or using a Wifi dongle and GUI Wifi setup tool.
- Open terminal and run sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get upgrade (Not sure if this was necessary, It doesn't hurt to do it anyway though.)
- Open the web browser and download bCNC from github. Unpack and run ./bCNC from the terminal in its unpacked directory. So, it turns out the RPi build of pyserial via apt-get was not compatible with bCNC and did not support the pyserial.tools() module.
- To update pyserial, install pip via a sudo apt-get install pip.
Then installed a newer version of pyserial with sudo pip install pyserial --upgrade - Re-ran ./bCNC and it popped up on screen.
###BananaPi Reported as working

Usually python is missing from Windows, so you need to install it, choose between version 2 or 3, bCNC should works on both.
Install also pyserial, use the correct installer for the same version of your python installation.
Download or clone the repository to your system.
If downloaded as zip file, extract it to a preferred location, open the folder and run bCNC.bat
