bCNC is the graphical interface that will control the CNC machine. It is fully open-source and maintained by Vasilis Vlachoudis at CERN, and has plenty of contributors. If you use Cyclone PCB Factory, make sure GRBL is installed first (Marlin firmware does not work with bCNC).

NOTE: A common problem is to forget erasing the EEPROM memory before flashing the GRBL firmware. This will reset the calibration values to zero, avoiding further issues (thanks to @cyryllo, Jungle and other people in the mail list for submitting this issue)

In first place, download and install bCNC.

Start bCNC and go to Tools->Machine. Update the values with the parameters for Cyclone:

Note: You can safely remove the header/footer gcodes.

    • Remember to restart bCNC so the new parameters take effect * * --

Now you can proceed to the Hello world tutorial.
