 ++++ Is a PC required to use the myCNC controller? |
 Yes, a PC is required to run the myCNC software, which will be used to control the myCNC board. You can use a full industrial PC (such as the one provided in some controller kits in our Shop), or you can use a small single board computer, such as a Raspberry Pi, an Odroid or a TinkerBoard. The links to download the myCNC software are available at our [[https://www.pv-automation.com/download|Downloads]] page.

+++++ Is a myCNC controller required to use the myCNC software? |
+Yes, a myCNC controller is needed to use most of the functions of the myCNC software. The main software itself is free and can be downloaded from our [[https://www.pv-automation.com/download|Downloads]] page. Please note that certain specialized software add-ons (such as G-code correction via DXF import with markers) are available as separate licenses which do have to be purchased in addition to the controller.

+The homing dialog is done through the HOMING_HANDLER Software PLC. If you would like to disable it, add a line saying exit(99); near the start of the code like so:
+{{::faq-qs-homing-handler-002.png}}
+This will force the handler to exit before showing the popup. In order to bring the popup up again, simply delete the exit(99); line, or put two forward slashes in front of it, like so:
+<code> //exit(99); </code>
+For more information on this homing dialog, please consult the full [[quickstart:mycnc-quick-start:homing_setup|Homing manual]].

 The ''portset'' command activates a certain port (for example, //portset(3)// will activate output #3), while the ''portclr'' command clears the specified port (//portclr(3)// will turn off output #3). In order to disable these commands, either delete them from the relevant Software PLCs, or comment them out by putting two forward slashes in front of the commands. Don't forget to press the Save All and Build All buttons to make sure that the changes take effect.
