all-in-one IOT base CNC machine

[mkeyno]

hi @t-oster, I was wonder have you check the LaserWeb front-end CAM host of @openhardwarecoza and serial bridge of @luc-github , the plan is all the CAM host embedded in the ESP Flash and such as IOT device just connect the printer and start design and printing (cutting ), I was hopping have your comments about that BR

@pelrun It was mentioned here: https://github.com/t-oster/VisiCut/issues/232#issuecomment-168847105 Very interesting project! But my hope is that it will get more user friendly. It seems to have a lot of functionality, but for more novice users, like Fablab visitors it's probably a bit to much. This is mostly about progressive disclosure; http://seanrice.net/user-experience/patterns/progressive/disclosure/ux/2013/09/26/progressive-disclosure.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_disclosure I can't imagine a Fablab user needing for example the console, seeing the x, y, z position, seeing the content of a job etc. So these could start out closed / folded. A button to enable 3D printer mode could be something that's configured in the specific machine settings. See for example a bit of Visicut's progress in the following issue: https://github.com/t-oster/VisiCut/issues/68

See laserweb2.0 please, instead of continuing to point users at codename clowncar which was laserweb1 (; On 22 Mar 2016 19:35, "Peter Uithoven" notifications@github.com wrote:

wow interesting activity on web UI out there @peteruithoven @pelrun , but it seems no body mention the capability the IOT to gather all needs along with all easiness , even @openhardwarecoza has not embedded its CAM host inside the wifi Node links, I was hopping in here, web programming talented guys can join with embedded wifi Node host developer to links this last chain

[peteruithoven]

@mkeyno Could you eleborate on those wifi Node links? Are those the hardware that links the web interfaces to the lasercutters (through usb etc)? @openhardwarecoza are you saying laserweb is "depricated" and we should look at the following LaserWeb2?

[pelrun]

Dunno why I'm mentioned here...

Anyway, this really has little or nothing to do with VisiCut.

Busy porting over the functionality but yes, laserweb2 is where the action is. Cleaner UI. The community affectionately calls LW1 the 'clown car interface' also, no nodejs dependency. Just waiting on Luc or others to add websocket support to esp8266 serial bridge then you literally can compile lw2 into a single html file and put it on a esp8266 if you wanted to. (community wants to, i dont care either way, its a web page. Host it wherever you want (cloud, local, esp whatever). The js for said websocket talking isnt done yet since there isnt a websocket implementation on a esp8266 yet. OP keeps tagging me in these posts, so sorry, no competition or offence meant. Remember laserweb is just an app I need. But the community seems to so more with it that i anticipated hehe. On 22 Mar 2016 21:53, "Peter Uithoven" notifications@github.com wrote:

Can we close this please? Issues are not a discussion forum.

Fine with me. @mkeyno , feel free to come discuss it on laserweb's issues page (; but please try to not offend other projects with these unrelated posts (; On 22 Mar 2016 22:00, "James Churchill" notifications@github.com wrote:

sorry for unintentional trouble for anyone here , I just thinking how would be great to have comments of talented people on each other effort that may unaware , however I'm not aware how to make discussion forum and yes I will close this issue also I'm sorry peter @openhardwarecoza to mention you many times , but believe that I'm so totally believe to what you have done yet BR to all

[pelrun]

Sorry, I didn't want to be harsh, it's just a discussion that would be much more usefully held elsewhere. Laserweb's definitely a better starting point for doing this stuff on an ESP8266 anyway (though I'm not sure how you'd make it fit...)
