Autodesk Machine Control Framework

The Autodesk Machine Control Framework is a solid, open machine controller interface powered by modern web technologies.

Current features:

• Extensible C++ Plugin interface

• Multiple (scripting) language-support is planned (e.g. Python, C++, Pascal, LUA, C#, JavaScript)

• Easy to access, change and configure

• Semantically versioned: multiple machine firmware states can be deployed on the same system and changed on the fly.

• Transactional: record full timeline of machine and replay and debug with millisecond resolution.

• Supports Simulation drivers for Unit-Testing

• Made for Git

TODO

Dependencies / Prerequisites / Compilation (on Windows)

• Visual Studio C/C++ (the Community Edition is sufficient technically) TODO
• Get and install go https://golang.org/doc/install
• A 64-MinGW compiler for cgo (we recommend TDM-GCC: https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/)
• Get and install cmake https://cmake.org/download/
• Get and install nodejs: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ with optional chocolatey install (will install Phython as well)
• build_clean_win64.bat should build the binaries and dev packages on Windows. The results are located in "build/Output".

Dependencies / Prerequisites / Compilation (on x64-Linux)

• Get and install go binaries from https://golang.org/doc/install
• Get and install node binaries from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
• On x64 Debian, the following packages should be sufficient:
  • build-essential
  • cmake
  • git
  • uuid-dev
• build_clean_linux64.sh should build the binaries and dev packages on Windows. The results are located in "build/Output".

Dependencies / Prerequisites (on ARM Linux)
