Hi, folks. Just registered to show my last work results to the community.
The main idea of my work - it's using
WEB techs to bring a new remote interface to the
LinuxCNC. It's a good idea because such EMC interface can be opened with any web browser on the any device with any OS. You can use any
Windows/Linux laptops and PCs, Macs,
iPhones,
Android phones and tablets and much more. Also you can choose an own way to connect your device to the EMC host. It's can be wired connection,
Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth. And if you have more than 1 machine you can watch and control them just with 1 remote device.
My 1st code was based on the
linuxcncrsh and
halrmt components. We can connect linuxcncrsh and halrmt to any web page using websockets. For this work I chose the
lighttpd webserver with custom websocket module. It works, but it's not easy to build and install. You can watch the results below:
A few months ago I decided to find another and more easy way to install this webface to the EMC host. I started to use
Python interface
and the
websocketd
. 1st test results:
If you want to try this test page, you can find the source here -

Short instructions can be found here -

Development is in progress..
