Beta Software for Ubuntu Linux and Rapsberry pi
We have released a Beta version of our software that will work on the Raspberry pi ARM 64bit and Ubuntu20 Linux 64bit and Ubuntu 24 Linux 64bit.
This software should work with the Mini Coil Winder, 200mm Coil Winder and Quad Winder that have either the ARMII or ARMIII controller installed that is running firmware 2.6.
At the moment we have just the Bobbins Winding and Manual Winding tab and will add the Scripting engines in future version if the demand is there.
To Install simply download the version to suit your computer OS.
Next extract the file and you should have the following files:
CoilWinderRaspV1-BETA-X64.exe for the Raspberry pi. Have tested on pi3 and pi4 64bit
CoilWinderUBUNTU20V1-BETA-X64.exe for Ubuntu 20 64bit
CoilWinderUBUNTU24V1-BETA-X64.exe for Ubuntu 24 64bit
69-hid.rules rule file that will be installed by the install script below
installhidrules.sh is a quick install script that will copy and enable the 69 rules file to allow the Coil Winding Machine USB HID to be used and also it will install Microsoft fonts to be used with the application.
Also there are the latest firmware files for the controller. Check your machine is already on firmware V2.6 and if not upgrade with the files below:
ARM-CW-Firmware-MKII-2-6-M1.dfu latest firmware for the ARM MKIII controller
ARM-CW-Firmware-MKII-2-6-M1.hex latest firmware for the ARM MKIII controller
You will need to make sure the main .exe file permissions are set to allow it to be executed and also the installhidrules.sh file.
Once the permissions are set you can run the install file in a terminal window.
First change to the path where you extracted the files to and then run as sudo
sudo ./installhidrules.sh
Next to run on a Raspberry pi use the command:
./CoilWinderRaspV1-BETA-X64.exe
To run on Ubuntu 20
./CoilWinderUBUNTU20V1-BETA-X64.exe
And on Ubuntu 24
./CoilWinderUBUNTU24V1-BETA-X64.exe
As stated this is Beta and so please do not hesitate to contact us with any bugs support@ukcnc.net
