FluidNC is CNC motion control firmware for the ESP32, the successor to Grbl_ESP32, supporting multiple machine and tool types with a config-file-based setup. It includes a built-in web UI, WiFi control, and AI helper tools (JSON schema, validator, MCP server) for writing config files.
Use cases
- run a CNC machine with ESP32 firmware
- control a laser and spindle from one controller
- configure CNC machine without recompiling firmware
- control CNC over wifi from phone or tablet
- validate FluidNC config yaml with AI assistant
- replace Grbl_ESP32 with next generation firmware
When to choose
- you use an ESP32-based CNC, laser, or similar machine
- you want Grbl-compatible gcode with yaml config files
- you need a built-in web UI and WiFi control
When to avoid
- you need firmware for non-ESP32 microcontrollers
- you want a desktop CNC controller rather than firmware
- you need real-time motion control on a Raspberry Pi or PC
