Love my Shapeoko 5 Pro, but I wanted to run a different controller software. I liked cncjs, but wanted more, so I built a new app on top. It’s called AxioCNC and adds a lot of features, especially for Shapeoko machines
-
Native BitZero and BitSetter tool changing
-
Modern design with themes
-
Job outline so you always know where your tool will cut
-
Gamepad support (connected to either the server or the browser)
-
Tool library so it says the next tool is “Carbide 201 1/4” Straight Endmill" instead of “T4”
-
Shows time left to next tool change, how much cutting each tool has done in its lifetime, and how much time was spent cutting vs. transitioning
-
Lots, lots, lots more
It’s completely free and open source. I built it for myself and my own Shapeoko but wanted to share as I think it’s the best controller/sender software out there now. Check it out at https://axiocnc.com
