Creating the communication layer between laserweb2 and TinyG - TinyG2

ghost commented 8 years ago

Don't know if this would help but @giseburt wrote https://www.npmjs.com/package/tinyg which could contain some value

Cinezaster commented 8 years ago

It is mainly for the serial connection and it is a low level implementation it doesn't abstract the communication from the tinyG into interpretable data.
Nicely written library, he put in a lot of work into it and not only in the code but also the documentation.

On connecting with the device we need a command we can send to recognize which device is connected. TinyG2 is silent on connect.

This command must be a unique command for tinyG and/or TinyG2 (their behaviour seems the same). I suggest: {sys:n} this returns the system group of TinyG

Since the user has to select the Buffer for Serial Port Json Server already, we could use that as an 'assumption' that it is a tinyg?

In laserweb1 I did this https://github.com/openhardwarecoza/LaserWeb/blob/master/server.js#L174-L177

Chilipeppr also checks for $fb (firmware build) On 3 May 2016 08:28, "Cinezaster" notifications@github.com wrote:

The buffer select could indeed be the solution.

Never the less, I like to import all data from the device into laserweb. For later use The $fb command returns a less parseable response compared to the {fb:n} command which returns json.

I found a Arduino Due and flashed it with TinyG2. Would be great if someone could send me a list of all the settings of a realistic machine. Don't want to spend time configuring one.

I'll nudge the guys on Google Plus again...

PS: no objection against $fb vs $fb:n
