Mechanica Software – Repetier CNC plugin
CNC Plugin
Informatie (ENG):
A Repetier Host plugin focused on CNC machine operationss. Working with CNC machines require slightly different user interface for frequent tasks such as jogging and height probing as the machined objects can be clamped at different positions on the bed. This plugin combines thoose into one panel in an intuitive way.

Install
(Only windows tested so far but plugins are supposed to work in linux too)
- Create the directory C:\Program Files\Repetier-Host\plugins\CncPlugin
- Change privileges to write access for the folder if required.
- Download plugin dll (https://github.com/ahd71/repetier-cncplugin/raw/master/CncPlugin/Binaries/CncPlugin.dll)
- Copy dll file (CncPlugin.dll) into the new directory (note that Repetier host is case sensitive)
- Unblock windows security for the file if required (right click on file and click UNBLOCK https://github.com/ahd71/repetier-cncplugin/blob/master/CncPlugin/Screenshots/security_unblock.PNG)
- Restart Repetier Host.
- Done :-)
Features
- Jog with keyboard (instead of mouse + click) – enabled only when the plugin panel is focused.
- Easy access to Z-Probe (G30, G31) and one-click-action to set height (G92 Zn.nn) based on the probing.
- Spindle on/off and PWM
- G1 assist mode (just three textboxes for coordinates to move to, leave empty to not move one or several axis)
- G92 assist mode (just three textboxes for redefining coordinates, leave empty to not redefine one or several axis)
Keyboard short cuts
- Default configured for jog via arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn. Fully configurable via key codes defined in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.system.virtualkey
