To make things easier, we created a pre-configured bCNC Raspberry Pi image.

The Image has the following features installed and configured :

  • bCNC [ Version 0.9.5 ] Link - Located on the desktop.
  • CNC.js [ Version 1.5.1 ] Link - Server shortcut to start it is on the desktop. (Run the shortcut once and go to the RPI's http://<RPI-IP>:8000)
  • Arduino [ Version 1.6.10 ] Link
  • AVRDude-RPI [ Customized ] - Programs Atmega328/Atmega2560's via Arduino IDE connected to /dev/ttyAMA0.


  • XRDB - The Raspberry Pi can be accessed via Remote Desktop.
  • TightVNCServer - Alternative to XRDB
  • CuteCom - Very simple to use serial terminal.
  • SSH has been enabled
  • The image is less than 4.5GB uncompressed and we recommend using a 8GB SD-card.
  • The hardware serial port has been configured as [/dev/ttyAMA0]. The Raspberry Pi 3 needs and extra step.(Below)
  • NodeJS V4.4.7
  • To setup a RPi 3's, run the "RPi3 Serial Config" shortcut on the desktop it will configure the hardware serial port and is only needed for on a RPi 3's. It only needs to be run once and will automatically reboot the Pi.
