LinuxCNC is an open-source CNC control system designed to run on Linux with a real-time kernel. It interprets G-code, plans motion trajectories, and outputs step/dir signals or interfaces with hardware to control CNC machines. For most hobbyists, a DIY LinuxCNC system seems less straightforward compared to GRBL. This list combines much of our hands-on experience, and after we went through these hardware components one by one, it turned out to be not as complicated as we had imagined.
