1 Preface<br />

This tu<strong>to</strong>rial will guide you through all the steps needed <strong>to</strong> setup the developing environment, configure the project<br />

and write a small <strong>GUI</strong> <strong>for</strong> the <strong>USBCNC</strong> software. Using <strong>GUI</strong>s is a powerful way <strong>to</strong> extend the functionality of your CNC<br />

machine. You should cus<strong>to</strong>mise your preferred tasks or create a user interface that meets some unusual<br />

requirements.<br />

As we will see later, interfacing <strong>with</strong> <strong>USBCNC</strong> is very easy and requires only some basic knowledge of C++<br />

programming and of the <strong>Qt4</strong> environment. Anyway, at the end of the document there are a couple of links <strong>to</strong> generic<br />

tu<strong>to</strong>rials about <strong>Qt4</strong>.<br />
