FluidNC_UI - Home

Home -- Overview -- Software -- Installation

This library provides a user interface to FluidNC on a 320x240 ILI9431 based SPI TFT touch screen. It makes use of the TFT_eSPI library to drive the TFT.

It is based on my fork of the bdring/FluidNC project.

It is designed to have a minimal impact on RAM usage and a small footprint in program memory. It makes no use of memory allocated dynamically at runtime. Here is a photo of an early prototype of a CNC machine controller board that I used to begin development of the UI:

Organization of Documentation

On these pages you can find documentation for the FluidNC_UI, including:
