<p>Agreed, web interface is handy. if LaOS would run gcode <a href="http://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/" class="external">octopi-octoprint</a> is a good solution, although I must admit that I may trust the 3d printer for few hours printing unsupervised, but leaving the cutter alone is not an option.</p>
<p>The main reason this would be great, is to have a better UI (or pendant) on a tablet for example near the machine.</p> Software development: RE: Webbased lasercutter controlhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/1059?r=1063#message-10632016-01-23T22:47:56Zpeteruithovenpeter@peteruithoven.nl
<p>Except for the face that there are hardly any developments?</p>
<p>The reason why I see potential is because there are many many more web developers than java or any other kind of developers. Most new digital fabrication devices seem to work with web based interfaces. (Check the latest Make magazine)</p>
<p>I would never ask people to run plugins or applications to talk to serial, you should always try to install those on a small computer (Raspberry Pi?) connected to the device. Then all you need is a browser on your own computer. <br />In the case of Laserweb I think you even host the website on that small computer, because it looks like it's a webserver that also does the serial communication.</p> Software development: RE: Webbased lasercutter controlhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/1059?r=1062#message-10622016-01-23T12:26:57Zjegbenrique.gallar@gmail.com
<p>seems like a fork of <a href="http://chilipeppr.com/grbl" class="external">Chillipepr</a> <br />I have tried this one and Inventable's "easel": <a class="external" href="http://easel.inventables.com/">http://easel.inventables.com/</a><br />to control CNC machine, the thing is they seem a bit toyish if you compared to LinuxCNC, and the experience benefit on controlling with the browser is lost when you need to start installing plugins to talk to serial.</p>
<p>All these work with the assumption that you will have Gcode interpreter on the machine controller side, as jaap mentioned, we are in SimpleCode for now.</p>
<p>Visicut & Laos seem to be pretty good solution and sufficient for fit for purpose.</p>
<p>The features that I would add that may take the Z axis into account are related to z (auto?) focus, 3d laser cutting or 4th axis for rotating table, but this is pretty much the value proposition of ready to lase solutions like Glowforge or more expensive machines, not for the diy.</p> Software development: RE: Webbased lasercutter controlhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/1059?r=1061#message-10612016-01-22T16:35:08Zpeteruithovenpeter@peteruithoven.nl
<p>Or find a way to try Smoothieware if the pins can be changed. I'm hoping they have a more recent grbl, and maybe a better way to keep it recent.</p> Software development: RE: Webbased lasercutter controlhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/1059?r=1060#message-10602016-01-22T16:29:35Zjaapjaap@tuxic.nl
<p>Looks good. Let's see if we can get it to speak SimpleCode too!</p> Software development: Webbased lasercutter controlhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/10592016-01-22T13:48:43Zpeteruithovenpeter@peteruithoven.nl
<p>Webbased lasercutter control, written in Node.js:<br /><a class="external" href="https://github.com/openhardwarecoza/LaserWeb">https://github.com/openhardwarecoza/LaserWeb</a><br />Only sad thing is that it's far from user friendly, quite a step back compared to visicut I'm afraid. But of course it's opensource, using web technology so there is a lot of potential.</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=941#message-9412015-03-22T21:56:59Zasenyurtatakansenyurt@hotmail.com
<p>solved problem as you said thanks peter :)</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=940#message-9402015-03-22T21:20:08Zpeteruithovenpeter@peteruithoven.nl
<p>This won't really be fixed by enabling pwm. You can make it swing out towards the edges, so it moves at a relatively consistent speed over the target. <br />You can configure this in Visicut: <em>Edit</em> > <em>Settings</em> > <em>Manager lasercutters...</em> > select a lasercutter<br />Edit the <em>Additional space per raster line</em> to something like 20mm.</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=939#message-9392015-03-22T21:12:25Zasenyurtatakansenyurt@hotmail.com
<p>ouuw i need to find which pin on laser PSU</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=938#message-9382015-03-22T21:10:52Zjaapjaap@tuxic.nl
<p>You need both pwm and laser on. PWM should be replacing your potentiometer.</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=937#message-9372015-03-22T21:07:12Zasenyurtatakansenyurt@hotmail.com
<p>can i connect same schematic which i added picture last post ? just change MBED pin ?</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=936#message-9362015-03-22T21:05:07Zjaapjaap@tuxic.nl
<p>You also need to connect laser PWM. Enable is not in use ATM.</p> Software development: RE: Engraving acceleration problemhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/boards/3/topics/929?r=935#message-9352015-03-22T21:03:42Zasenyurtatakansenyurt@hotmail.com

<p>Is the laser power connected to the LaOS board? If not, it cannot decrease the power when the speed decreases. The image is consistent with constant laser power.</p>
