Hardware Requirements of Universal GCODE Sender

Universal Gcode Sender is the software I used to control the CNC machine. It is a full featured gcode platform used for interfacing with advanced CNC controllers. As per their website, here is the list of features:

Features

• Cross platform, tested on Windows, OSX, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.
• Executable All-In-One JAR file - if you have java there is nothing to install. The JAR file includes native dependencies for all supported operating systems.
• 3D Gcode Visualizer with color coded line segments and real time tool position feedback.
• Duration estimates.
• Over 3000 lines of unit test code, and another 1000 lines of comments documenting the tests.
• Configuratble gcode optimization:
  • Remove comments
  • Truncate decimal precision to configurable amount
  • Convert arcs (G2/G3) to line segments
  • Remove whitespace

Based on my actual expeience, this software will work fine with small pc's like raspberry pi, atom-based pc's, or any pc lower than i5. But if you plan to make complicated designs with gcodes greater than 10Mb, it is highly recommended to use pc's with at least i5 and 8Gb ram with Video Card, not the video card built in the CPU itself.
