Figure 1.1 mikroCNC software

mikroCNC is free software (Figure 1.1) that can interpret standard G and M commands and that turns computer into the CNC control station. It works on Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 with 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

mikroCNC software currently supports this Audioms Automatika motion controllers: - ISO-USB-BOX motion controller, - USB-MC-INT motion controller and - USB-MC motion controller.

The software has built-in motion planner algorithm that supports simultaneous, synchronized motion of up to 6 axis. For acceleration and deceleration it is possible to select either trapezoidal ramp profile or more advanced S-profile that offers significant reduction of inertial forces and vibrations.
Software support AutoToolZero ­ ATZ option.

1.1 Installation of the software
The software can be downloaded from the site www.audiohms.com in form of ZIP archive. The archive

should be unpacked into the previously made folder and shortcut icon created on the computer desktop screen.
