Candle VS orbit

oppure Candle: https://github.com/Denvi/Candle

I looked up the specs for Candle https://github.com/Denvi/Candle says it will run on very minimum hardware. Windows/Linux x86, CPU with SSE2 instruction set support, Graphics card with OpenGL 2.0 support, 120 MB free storage space.

The sainsmart getting started guide is decent enough, worth checking out. I'm pro usb-ing it to a computer (Raspberry pi w/ a touchscreen in my case) & using Candle to drive it, and fusion 360 to generate toolpaths (.nc) files for it. The sainsmart guide covers all that mostly.

I used Candle for awhile (https://github.com/Denvi/Candle). Mach 4 can do it, but I haven't tried with a PCB.

Personally in my setup I use Fusion360 for CAD, CAM and POST, sometimes on complicated/organic models I do the CAD in Blender instead and just import it into Fusion for the CAM/POST, and for a sender I use a little app called Candle (picked it because it had some nice utilities for etching out PCBs which is how I got into CNC), but there's plenty options out there.

I am using pcb2gcode for generating my files for the engraver. https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcodeGUI . For commanding the mill I am using Candle. https://github.com/Denvi/Candle . This works very nicely.

Candle is available in english (on Windows and Linux) here: https://github.com/Denvi/Candle

If using the command line, just open gitk. If using GitHub, look under the network tab.

What does a profiler actually do? A program profile gives the developer the ability to be able to measure both space and time complexity of their functions in their program. This is particularly important if your program has a major bottleneck causing slowdowns, which is especially disastrous if it is a system where many requests are made. An example of such a tool is orbit which can visualize the performance points in your program.
