All myCNC Controllers work under Host Computer with myCNC Control software. myCNC Control Software is multi-platform software working on Windows (7,8,10), Linux, Embedded Linux operating systems. Desktop PC, Laptop, Industrial PC or Single board computer (like Raspberry Pi2/3, Odroid-C2/XU4, Asus Tinker Board, Rock64) can be Host for myCNC control board to build CNC control package. We offer wide range of CNC electronic kits including myCNC controller, Host PC (based on Linux Single board computer), Touch screens, Wireless Pendant controls
This page helps you compare myCNC controllers side by side. Some of the main differences between them include motor outputs, the number of inputs and outputs, whether closed-loop motion control is built in, and whether built-in Torch Height Control (THC) is included.

Understanding the Comparison
Closed-Loop Motion Control — uses encoder feedback so the controller can confirm the motors actually moved where they were commanded, rather than assuming the move completed correctly.
Built-in THC — Torch Height Control automatically adjusts cutting height in response to an uneven cutting surface, which is especially useful for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting.
