Any pictures of the completed project?

Looks fantastic!

Questions: What SW is being shown on the tablet? What program did you use for the CAM?

y_milord · May 3, 2015, 5:51pm

I have 16 more to cut (Which are still cutting right now). I’ll do completed pictures later when I get out of the garage.

The iPad Mini is connected to OctoPrint which is running from a RPi B+. I just took the ‘State’ section and broke it out to a separate page. Mostly to show status (Completion time and percentage left) and start/pause/cancel. Preloading the gcode is done from with-in the house. I just G92 the machine where I want it and hit start from the iPad. All jogging and such is done with a XHC HBO4 pendant.

Oh the CAM was done with Vcarve Pro.

I thought it looked like OctoPrint (I use that with my 3D printer). I noticed it says “Cut” instead of “Print”. I’m guessing that you changed it as part of the breakout? Are your changes available anywhere? I’ve done a couple of very minor changes, but would like to do more, so I’m always looking for examples of changes that others have done.

For the xhc pendant are u using my nodejs code? If not did u get the display dro working on it? I am mess with it now trying to get the correct data packets going

y_milord · May 4, 2015, 4:30am

No, I could not get your version to run at all. Throw’s a bunch of errors during the npm install stage. I ended up using the driver for linuxcnc to connected to the pendant. Then have another instance that intercepts the commands then sends them to Octo via it’s API. But this is one way (XHC > LinuxCNC > my daemon > Octo API) So no DRO.It’s a ugly, ugly hack. I ended up using a due that connects to GRBLs TX/RX pins and outputs that to a 7" touchscreen display. But thats all that does for now. the game plan was to use that display to act as a DRO and a jog controller. Still a work in process.

@Riley_Porter_ril3y Ah, I thought it was something I was doing. Any plans on fixing that?

Riley_Porter_ril3y · May 17, 2015, 4:56am

I have an open issue (as well as others now) in on it. I am keeping an eye on it. Sucks as I was really close to getting it finished
