# Software ## Introduction The SW needed for this project can be broken down into the following subsections. ### Pattern Capture KLayout OpenROAD ### CAM Translator Computer-Aided Manufacturing software translates a 3D design into G-code instructions that a CNC machine (in this case laser burner) can understand, essentially "slicing" the design into smaller, machinable steps. This SW takes a file with the desired mask (Pattern Capture Output) as an input and translates it into a set of machine instructions. ### Burner Firmware This software runs on the micro-controller that drives all the HW. It is responsible for taking sensor inputs and driving all output motors and lasers. This device also has an interface which can transmit all the data to/from the user. ### Device Driver This software is responsible for general control of the laser burner from the PC side. ### Graphical User Interface This SW is responsible for the user facing interface which gives the user full control of the burner. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.hackerfab.org/home/fab-toolkit/patterning/blu-ray-lithography/lithography-spinner-v1/software.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
