Attempting to run gpx from command line #41

Hi,

This may not be an issue, but unsure where to go to ask. I would have thought with the output not showing any issues, the gcode would be received and acknowledged by the printer. GPX is running ok from the octoprint server on the same (pi) machine. I installed gpx from the linux repositories rather than building it.

I'm trying this:

sudo gpx -v -c ./gpx.ini test.gcode /dev/ttyACM0

The gpx.ini being used is attached here

gpx.ini.txt

test.gcode has G28 on a single line. I've also tried M140 S60 to see if the printer will heat its bed.

Here is the output:

Loading config: gpx.ini Loading machine definition: Replicator 1 - dual extruder Loaded config: gpx.ini Loading config: ./gpx.ini Ignoring duplicate machine definition: -m r1d Loaded config: ./gpx.ini Reading from: test.gcode Writing to: /dev/ttyACM0 Extrusion length: 0.000 metres Estimated print time: 3 minutes 36 seconds X3G output filesize: 29 bytes

GPX isn't really meant to be a host by itself. It's just a translator. That said, you can run it as a daemon and use another host to run gcode through it. However, since you've already got GPX running with OctoPrint, you can just use OctoPrint to send your test.gcode to the printer, right?
