hi guys I install according to windows 7 64 instruction but when in final step type the node server , following error pop up; any help is really appreciated

Hey.. What flavour of Windows?

Just to recap on the steps

1. You did remember the 'npm install' step, and was from within the LaserWeb directory so that it could read package.json. Thats pretty much the only thing you could be doing wrong.
2. If you are a non-vanilla windows (i.e long since fresh install, other software that could interfere) you may be unable to install the precompiled node-serialport modules. The project we use from upstream node-serialport has instructions on compiling (using python and the windows SDK) , here: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/wiki that you can try, to install the dependency from source

hi Peter thanks for quick reply but I cant fully understand what is your mean , however I do "npm install serialport" and then "npm install" again but this time have less error

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Private\server' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:289:25) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:457:10) at startup (node.js:138:18) at node.js:974:3

is there anythings that should be installed before staring the server?

by the way have you aware about cool guys that use ESP8266 to wireless communication ? I mean if the software can connect the wifi module which is connected to serial port of 3D printer , then there is no necessary to dig down to the serial port on windows

Go check my googleplus profile , my wifi cnc/printer/laser prototypes came in (: you really should follow me there.

John lauer, ray Kholodovsky and myself, are just quickly in a conf call working on chilipeppr stl/dxf import... Else i woulve said lets jump in a hangout. But too busy at the moment. Do you have spaces in your path? Where did you install?

Try copy laserweb to c:\laserweb

Open a command prompt

Type cd c:\laserweb Run npm install Type dir and paste me a screenshot here

great Peter , the future own the only wireless links and i saw many guys try to use this chip wifi for many links to their machines , actually , I did build my first CNC laser with modified marlin + RAMPS1.4 which is connected with HC-06 BT, I successfully print through Repetier-host , however after couple of weeks find great Igorr code with ESP module and currently use it for couple of my IOT device , then find your awesome web base platform for create the G-code and send it over the serial connection and I think the combination of your work and guys such as Luc https://github.com/luc-github to create transparent wifi connection would the great ,

Woe thanks for sharing that firmware, looks nicer than ESPlink. On 19 Feb 2016 21:12, "mehrdad" notifications@github.com wrote:

Thanks Peter , can address me your wifi cnc printer , I cant not find it in your wordpress or G+ page ? also have you try to add your tools in inkspace , ?

[mkeyno]

[cojarbi]

@mkeyno Try cloning again from github. I just did the whole procedure on a new machine without issues.

Follow me on google plus. All my links are on about.me/peter6960 (but google. Plus is my best) On 19 Feb 2016 21:40, "mehrdad" notifications@github.com wrote:

@cojarbi not yet buddy , same error

[ghost]

Still doesnt look like you have node-serialport installed

1, you are sure you have node 0.12 not node 4 or 5?

and

2, screenshot of npm install serialport

[ghost]

and wait by the look of that window, is that XP?

[mkeyno]

I have node ver v5.6.0 Stable and windows 7 x64 , should I remove the the prior version? how can I install this version

[ghost]

Yes, thats what the instructions say after all! (: - https://github.com/openhardwarecoza/LaserWeb/blob/master/README.md#windows-procedure-courtery-of-fuininthefalls-anthony-bolgar We wouldnt say 0.12 if serialport worked with 5!

(: For not reading instructions feel free to see our https://github.com/openhardwarecoza/LaserWeb/wiki/SPONSORS page to ease the Guilt for this unneccesary Issue (;

For future ref, see https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/issues/578#issuecomment-150016435

And from yours above, looks like they still havent fixed it for Windows (;

From the thread it does look like Linux should be working with node 4< but I havent tested yet. I wouldnt make the jump till all platforms can support it (makes troubleshooting easier by supporting one platform)

[mkeyno]

sorry about that but how can I install this version of node , ? there is no good instruction for windows platform

[mkeyno]

you know I heard about it long time a go , how is hard to working with hardware resource in windows platform, I think you and your friends must have new plan for using the wifi link instead of serial port

[cojarbi]

@mkeyno the instructions are very clear. Click the link and Download node.v0.12.7-x86.msi

[mkeyno]

tnx @cojarbi but I have download node-v0.12.7-darwin-x64.tar.gz which is no binary in it , ok I'll try this version, however as previous note I've just curious to dig around your CAM environments and my ambitions is to use wifi link not serial port
