Laserweb server #521

Closed a7hybnj2 closed 6 years ago

Can someone please clarify if setting up Laser Web on a raspberry pi as a server would have laser plugged into the raspberry pi?

Can you please clearify what you mean with "laser plugged into raspberry pi"? Do you mean a laser machine plugged in via USB? LaserWeb only supports controllers with one of the supported firmwares (see README of https://github.com/LaserWeb/lw.comm-server).

Correct. The laser plugged into the raspberry pi running laserweb server. I am using laserweb now successfully but have it directly connected to the computer that is running laserweb. I want to be able to control this laser over the network.

Ok, this is exactly what the raspi installation is for. After installing lw.comm-server to the raspi, you can run the frontend, change the server IP once in the "Comms" tab under "Server Connection" from localhost to the IP of your raspi (with port :8000) and click connect. Then go to "Machine Connection" and select the USB port.

Perfect! For some reason I was unclear. Thanks for the clarification!
