DEV BRANCH ALL BETS OFF
A JavaFX 2 based GUI controller for the TinyG motion controller.
Currently tgFX allows for sending of gcode files, configuring axes/motors/machine settings and a 2d preview of the CNC toolpath for the TinyG motion control system.
This code is under heavy development. '''Use this code at your own RISK!''' Please note that tgFX is NOT backwards compatible with firmware older tinyg firmware versions. tgFX will notify you if your TinyG firmware is too old.
Most people want to know where to get the binary download for tgFX and move on. While this is possible, we urge you to read the wiki pages on how to use tgFX with TinyG. Using any software to control CNC machines can be dangerous and is definitely woth the time of taking 10 minutes to read tgFX's wiki pages for saftey's sake. That being said please refer to Synthetos LLC's Software Disclaimer.
Instructions on installing, using and configuring tgFX with TinyG can be found on the tgFX wiki located here: https://github.com/synthetos/tgFX/wiki
Thanks and remember that tgFX is still in beta. Try running a job with the motors inhibited before attempting to cut.
For those that want to test out tgFX on their TinyG the latest binaries will be located here at the Download Page
Notes:
Linux binaries are not provided. However, it is possible to run tgFX in Linux through the Netbeans IDE.
If you are going to use tgFX on OSX you will need to preform a minor fix to enable tgFX to connect to your TinyG. You can read more about this here:
