This site https://cncpro.yurl.ch/ says that it can be used without communications. Does this mean there is no version that will run an active device anymore?
I ask this because I cannot seem to load a gcode file. I drag it into the Gcode document box and it leaves LW and opens a page with the Gcode but it is no longer in LW? Perhaps I need to be retrained :).
@donkjr about #1, that url is not updated often (I’ve updated that just now). Instead binaries are.
LW4 does not have drag and drop load, instead use load document button.

I am trying to use the web version to check my CNC files that I use for my OX to see how LW will handle them…
In LW:
I load a small gcode file using the “Load Gcode from file” in the green “Gcode” dialog and:
…It loads the file onto the palate
…There is no gcode visible anywhere
If I “generate gcode”: the objects on the palate disappear
…The “simulator” slider is not active.
If I “view generated Gcode” it opens a blank “untitled” browser tab.
If I “export Gcode to file” it saves a file but with just a small section of the original contents.
I tried some other test files that used to work with LW and although some will simulate before I “generate Gcode”, most behave this way. I definitely cannot see the loaded Gcode.
LW Exported contents:
G21 ; Set units to mm
G90 ; Absolute positioning
M2 ; End
As first glance, Parenthesis are not supported by LW, try other postprocessor on cambam to export with semicolons or replace them. You don’t need to generate gcode, as is what is loaded.
If lw cannot parse it then cannot show it . It should alert non recognizable code, will check later. In the meantime, try adding semicolon before the parentheses
