The myCNC application can be launched directly from your command line. This also allows the user to utilize switches that will temporarily modify the program's behaviour (for example, launching a profile that's different from the default, or using a different Network mode).
The following switches are available:
Switch | Description |
---|---|
-p | Launch an alternative profile |
-s | Launch the program in Simulation mode (Network) |
-U | Launch the program using the UDP protocol (default, recommended) |
-L | Launch using a different Controller IP Address |
For example, in the image below, the system will launch the X1366V tangential cutting profile when loading myCNC instead of the default profile, using the '/opt/myCNC/ubuntu18_64/myCNC' -pX1366V
command (note the -p
flag):
