Raspberry Pi 3 with a 21.5" capacitive touch LCD, booting directly to chilipeppr via chromium. Need to fix the 3D view gesture input, and disable info tooltips on buttons, but everything else works as expected!
Put this in your Javascript to remove all popovers. Only do this a few seconds after the workspace is loaded to make sure all popover creation is completed, and thus your destroy will correctly take effect.
$(’[data-toggle=“popover”]’).popover(‘destroy’);
$(’[data-trigger=“hover”]’).popover(‘destroy’);
great, that worked nicely. I made some other tweaks and figured out the chromium tricks, and multitouch input works nicely (after upgrading to TrackballControls r82. Uploaded a video to twitter: https://twitter.com/dchote/status/802346725646200832
You can also remove the ‘btn-xs’ class from all buttons to make them bigger. That will throw off the layout probably, but would give you better touch screen size for your fingers. $(’.btn’).removeClass(‘btn-xs’);
Im going to make a pass over resizing elements later on I think. I have some overarching layout changes that i’d like to hit, but would prefer to get the CNC done first 
Super pumped though, this is working out nicely
Are you using a cnc p-hat? I am working on getting a machine running with the pi3, using protoneer cnc hat.
@Mark_Leino problem is you’re stuck with Grbl then with that design. An 8-bit microcontroller for CNC is pretty under-powered these days especially if you’re spending good cash on your CNC machine.
@jlauer that is a good point, I’m really not a huge Grbl fan. I have been testing out as many controllers as I can. The machine it will most likely be going on is a 500mm x 500mm. Going to be used mostly for demonstrations at the school my wife teaches at.
So far, I think tinyg is the easiest to set up and use, followed by the smoothie board. Hopefully
my planet cnc controller will show up soon, it’s been 40 days since I ordered it…
I’m using a TinyG
@Mark_Leino I have a planet-cnc controller also, but part of the reason I never got around to building my cnc was having to deal with a windows machine to control it. What I’d like is an exact tiny-g board, without onboard stepper controllers, and 4 axis outputs for external stepper controllers. I have the parts for a nema34 based 1500x1000x400mm bed, but once I found TinyG and chilipeppr I decided to just build a smaller 6040 based cnc instead (mainly because of my stubbornness to not run a windows machine)
@Daniel_Chote interesting, I like using Windows. Just bought a Windows tablet even for jogging machine around.
I’m going to try to set up a pi 3 today and see how it works. Did you use Jessie, or Jessie lite? Why did you need to disable tool tips? Have you tried the chilipeppr tablet work space? Have you ran any long programs?
Sorry so many questions, I’m trying to get away from having to change set ups on my laptop when switching from laser, to printer, and two cnc machine. A pi at each work station would be awesome
@Mark_Leino I’ll put together a blog post this week
There’s step and direction pins on tinyg just pick them up and run out to external drives for your nema 34 build
I just got my pi3 running with chilipeppr. Used chromium and basically followed all the same steps you with a pc except used tablet mode. Didn’t even try the standard tinyg fork Need to do some more testing, but if it works out, I’m just going to have a pi3 hooked up to each machine and put g code files on a jump drive. Pi 3’s are a night and day difference from pi2 & pi1 in terms of trying to do any web apps. Pi zero is pretty painfully slow too
