Click a link below to download EazyCNC - 2.0.41 for your platform

To support the development of EazyCNC and related stuff I am now selling licenses to use the EazyCNC software.

If you want to buy a license you can

PayPal me at kustaa.nyholm@sparetimelabs.com

Just mention in the payment message your name and for which version of EazyCNC you want to apply the licence to and I will send you and email confirming that you are licensed to use that version.

I will leave it up to You what the license is worth as this is a hobby project.

Technically there is nothing to prevent you from running the code you can download below without a license.

Basically to get you started all you need is one of the files below!

Operating System Support

- macOS

If you get the infamous "This application is damaged and can't be opened" -dialog, see this page.

On macOS EazyCNC is only supported on 'macOS High Sonoma' which is the current (Autumn 2024) development platform. It is likely that it runs just fine on older (back to High Sierra) and later macOS versions too.

EazyCNC does not run on earlier versions than High Sierra and that is not and will not be supported, however all hope is not lost, you can try to run it on older Macs with these instructions.

- Windows

On Windows EazyCNC is only supported on 'Windows 10', but seems to run on Windows 7 (64b) and is likely to run on Windows 11 too.

EazyCNC is 64 bit application, but starting with 2.0.36 a 32 bit executable is available for those who want to run it at their own risk on a 32 bit Windows.

- Linux

On Linux EazyCNC is distributed as 64 bit application in the form of a .deb package with the expectation that a Linux user will be able to use their google or Linux skills to install a .deb package from a local file.

At least on Ubuntu it seems that the Firefox browser will automatically offer to install the file.

To install from command line use: 


sudo dpkg -i eazycnc_2.0.41-1_amd64.deb

To un-install use following command line : 


sudo dpkg -r eazycnc

After successful installation the EazyCNC menu item should appear, depending on Linux version, in Show Applications from where you can launch it or pin it to favorites by right clicking it.

- Raspberry Pi OS

Note!
The only supported operating system distro is Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) bullseye,
the latest version (bookworm) does not work because of some bugs in its graphics pipeline.

Note!
If you have a version of EazyCNC installed with EazyCNC-install.sh script you must uninstall it by running the script EazyCNC-uninstall.sh before installing EazyCNC from a .deb package (starting from date 15.2.2024).

If the un-installation is successful the menu item Other/EazyCNC will disapper from the Rasberry menu.

You can download Raspberry Pi OS bullseye from this link.

The only supported hardware is Raspberry Pi 4 B, though others may work.

The Chromium browser should automatically offer to install the file .deb file when you click at it or once you have downloaded it try to open it.

To install from command line use: 


sudo dpkg -i eazycnc_2.0.41-1_arm64.deb

To un-install use following command line : 


sudo dpkg -r eazycnc

After successful installation the EazyCNC menu item should appear in the Raspberry menu.

Installing from the .deb package installs the necessary udev rules for USB access add
and make EazyCNC to start automatically when the system boots up.

Click the link below to download EazyCNC strings.properties file

This file is only needed if you want to customize/translate the user interface texts.

The process of customizing and translation is described here.

Click the link below to download EazyCNC classes jar

This file is only needed if you want to do Plugin Development.

Click a link below to download the driver file necessary for Windows

Click a link below to download an example G-code file

Download and un-zip, then click'SIMU' in EazyCNC, then ''Load' and select the un-zipped file and click 'RUN ' to see how it cuts, when the code pauses at G-code M0 and EazyCNC enters hold state, click 'RUN' again to continue.

This G-code was generated automatically from a jDraft drawing.

Click the link below to download TOAD4 firmware

Note! With Mac OS X Yosemite you absolutely need this latest firmware!

Click the link below to download EazyCNC configuration file

You can download the configuration file from the link below but starting from EazyCNC version 0.0.0.7a this si not necessary and not recommended.

All the machine setup related setting are stored in a configuration file called EazyCNC-Mach-Config.ecnc . This file will be placed in a folder/directory named EazyCNC in your home directory. If you don't have this file EazyCNC creates this file when you click the 'SAVE' button and it should automatically have usable default values for experimenting but just in case here is a copy of the file I use with my plasma cutter.

Note that if the folder EazyCNC does not exist in your home directory EazyCNC will create it.

Home directory depends on your OS as follows.
Mac OS X'/Users/username'
Windows 10 'C:\Users\username'
Linux '/home/username'

Archieved Stuff

Below links to old out of date documents

TOAD4-RC6 board has now, as of 2nd of May 2013, been superseded by TOAD4-RC8 which is electrically almost identical apart from a few connector pin changes and an additional opto-isolated input. Firmware wise RC6 and RC8 are identical and compatible.

Below are archived links to documentation that are pertinent to those that have a RC6 board.
