Can this be installed and used with the Windows versions of CNCjs?

If so, please provide install instructions.

Hello, is it possible to install kreso-t / cncjs-kt-ext on CNCjs APP Electron? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It should be possible to use it with Windows and with Electron APP. However I didn't try that yet (I am running it on Raspberry PI/Linux) , so I can't provide some specific instructions. Generally it should work in very similar way as on Linux+nodejs.

Confirmed that it works on Windows.

  1. If you use the standalone application, you need to find out the port number. Open CNCjs View -> View In Browser and copy the port from the url, e.g. the 59539 part of http://127.0.0.1:59539/#/login Note that this port number will change on every time you launch CNCjs app. To force a static port, add --port 8000 (or some other port number) as an argument for the exe (located in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\cncjs-app).
  2. Check from Device Manager which COM port was assigned for your CNC controller
  3. Launch auto leveler with command like: node . --port COM9 --socket-port 59539 If it works it says the connection is ok, e.g. "Connected to port "COM9" (Baud rate: 115200)"
  4. Check other possibly required arguments with node . --help. For example if you have an CNCjs account set up you need to fill in the authentication stuff that you can find from C:\Users\.cncrc In my case the whole launch command is like so node . --socket-port 59539 --id 'randomlettersandnumbersfrom.cncrc.file' --name 'MyAccountNamefron.cncrc.file' --secret 'morerandomlettersandnumbersfrom.cncrc.file' --port COM9
