Testing code before running on actual hardware
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2025 1:24 am
Hello everyone,
I would like to know what options are you using or recommed for testing and validating the logic before running it on the actual machine.
Specifically:
Are there simulation tools or emulation modes available that allow testing the program without the physical board?
If not, is there a way to run the code on the board but disable or bypass the peripherals, drives, and motors — so that I can safely verify the control logic and I/O behavior?
I’m trying to establish a safe workflow for debugging and verifying CNC control logic without risking hardware damage.
Any recommendations, tools, or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
