CNC3d Commander Supports Following Operations

Metric & Imperial Inch support

Commander supports both Metric and imperial inches. This option can be easily configured in the "Operation" tab of commander under "Machine Units".

Please Note: Some aspects of GRBL controllers must be in metric, these include; Steps per millimetre, Acceleration and Max speed values. The good news, this typically only needs to be done once during initial machine configuration.

Spark Concepts xPRO V5 Support

The current version of Commander fully supports all of the extended features of the xPRO V5 including SD file handling, easy network setup and most importantly, network recovery!

FluidNC Support

There is very limited compatibility with FluidNC in Commander, FluidNC has removed almost all of the easy $ settings configurations found in GRBL in favour of a preloaded config file that must be compiled and re-uploaded to the controller.

This means you cannot easily tune or adjust your machine on the fly using Commanders easy setting configuration tools.

FluidNC is still in the development stage, with constant and drastic changes to how it operates with each release, this makes it extremely difficult for our team to ensure that Commander can suit it entirely.

With all due respect to the developers of FluidNC, we feel the platform is not quite stable enough for our development team to keep up with supporting at this stage.
