FireREST CNC

CNC REST API

FireREST CNC is a REST API for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) device controllers and simulators.

Device Control Endpoint (DCE)

A FireREST server can support multiple, named Device Control Endpoints (DCE). Each DCE is a nexus for locally coordinated action and is typically associated with a single motion controller. For example, a dual-gantry XYZ machine might work best with two 3-axis DCEs, or it could have a single 6-axis DCE. Here is a sample FireREST CNC url that refers to a DCE named, "tinyg".

• Example: http://firepick:8080/firerest/sync/cnc/tinyg/gcode.fire

DCE REST Resources

Each DCE can support one or more REST resources:

Resource	DCE Operation
gcode.fire	Execute given GCODE command
properties.json	Read/write configurable parameters (if supported)
