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 the web browser and download bCNC from github. Unpack and run ./bCNC from the terminal in its unpacked directory.
- On the RPi 2 (confirmed), all dependent libraries should already be part of the standard RPi image. On the RPi 1, you may need to update pyserial manually, if bCNC doesn't load and gives an error. To fix, install pip via
sudo apt-get install pip, followed bysudo pip install pyserial --upgrade.
###BananaPi Reported as working
[Olimex Olinuxino](Olimex Olinuxino)
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
