I didn’t explain that terribly well.
First, to test this
- Start CM on the PC hooked up to the shapeoko
- in a browser window type “http://localhost:8080” and you should see an interface pop up that looks almost identical to CM. If this part works, you’re almost there.
- Close the browser, you don’t need it. When you get this working on your tablet, phone, another pc, what you saw int he browser is exactly what you should see.
Now, to get the real deal working on a tablet or something…
Find the IP address for the machine you’re running carbide motion on. If windows, from a cmd shell, type . “ipconfig /all” and there should an interface there that likely starts with 192, maybe 168, maybe 10. (they have the format xxx.yyy.zzz.www - you’re looking for one with a 192, 168, 10 in the xxx part) . Then, from a tablet or other pc on the same network (ie. phone on your household wireless, won’t work from cell service only) type http://xxx.yyy.zzz.www:8080 . substituting the xxx.yyy.zzz.www you saw int he ipconfig. That should work.
