Has anyone tried or seen this project yet? https://github.com/crispy1989/tightcnc?fbclid=IwAR27lnkOj89cr8cpsrFCwB5IpXpUAjYcTdkLVoM21nRo5FJbpxvjl-a5SAA#consoleui-usage
It’s still pretty early in, but it seems to have some pretty cool features so far.
Its features include:
- Support for arbitrary axes
- Autoleveling using a surface probe, with a few special features
- Failed/interrupted job recovery, as in the case of a power outage
- Plugin system allowing external extensions
- A powerful macro system using javascript, capable of interacting with both the controller and user (via the ui) in real time
- A framework designed for pluggable gcode transforms that can analyze and modify gcode live (eg. used to implement job recovery, autoleveling, etc.)
- Completely API-driven for independence from any particular UI. A key-driven terminal interface is included (no mouse required).
- Includes a command-line utility for shell scripting
- Keeps an automatically rotating log of all recent communication with the device for debugging purpose
- Both server and bundled console UI can run on a raspberry pi
- Supports arbitrary file sizes, files are never loaded into memory all at once
- Includes a framework for building automatic parameterized gcode generators, based on the macro system
- Runtime feed override
- Supports multiple simultaneous clients
- Currently supports TinyG and GRBL (both 0.9 protocol and 1.1 protocol)
- Deep integrations with controllers, taking advantage of each controller’s unique features for optimal performance and abilities
- Fast gcode sender supporting short, fast moves while still ensuring immediate operations such as feed hold/cancel are immediately effective
The Automatic Job Recovery seems to be the neatest feature
