Playing with LW3 on my Pi3, and noticed a mobile page. From that page I didn’t see any way to upload a gcode file (or any other). Can you point me to where I can upload a file?

Mobile page acts just as a remote. You need the full page to run LW

Vaden_Mohrmann · July 4, 2016, 2:29pm

Not sure I understand the point then. Can you walk through the intended work flow?

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · July 4, 2016, 2:32pm

Sure but first you are running LW3 on rpi but loading it on a PC or mobile ( small screen)?

Vaden_Mohrmann · July 4, 2016, 2:46pm

I’m running LW3 on a rpi3 using a 7" touch display. My hope is to attached that to my smoothie board.

+Peter van der Walt is 7" to small that is only showing the mobile version?

@Vaden_Mohrmann are you seeing this screen http://imgur.com/J0fPzQ5

It defaults to the normal screen and if I zoom the browser out I can see the interface better. I noticed the mobile option so I was trying it out.

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · July 4, 2016, 3:23pm

@Vaden_Mohrmann so you need to use the standard interface not the mobile. Click on open > load file ( raster, vector ) then got to the second icon from the left to process the file. Third icon would be the gcode output

Vaden_Mohrmann · July 4, 2016, 4:43pm

What if I have the gcode already? Example I use my desktop with lots of horsepower to run LW to create the gcode of raster image. And I have my pi connected to my smoothie.

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · July 4, 2016, 5:13pm

You can. Just clikc open and choose the gcode. Go to the gcode icon on the left and you will see it loaded. Also the gcodeview tab witll show you the preview

I’m learning LW3 but still not quite there. It thinks all my Gcode is mm so it comes in way too small and I have to change the extension to .gcode.

Have not tried to cut any gcode yet because I still have problems getting bitmaps to work right, it burns the wood too much. The settings for generating gcode are not making sense to me like the light dark mm settings as some ratio. I may still have something hooked up wrong on the smoothie but the motors work fine. I wish I could send Gcode to it and see the DROs and image at the same time like when it prints.
