This is one of the best ideas I've seen for the solidoodle, but I'd be curious to know if it would work before investing $110 dollars.

Thanks for you're work on the Solidoodle!


Edit: I eventually decided to get one, and I can confirm that it does work with the Solidoodle 3.

A few simple changes I made to speed up the experience a little:

1: For this to work on the SD3 a powered usb hub MUST be used.  The x-stepper will miss steps otherwise and the layers won't line up


2: The launch script visp.sh launches webserver.py in lxterminal by default, which made the interface very slow to use on the installed version of chromium.  I found that editing visp.sh to run webserver.py directly in python (replace lxterminal -e /home/linaro/visp/webserver.py with python /home/linaro/visp/webserver.py) led to an enormous increase in the responsiveness of the interface.


3: I decided to switch to midori for using this solely because it is about twice as fast to start up.  In visp.sh change
chromium-browser "the original local url" &
to midori -e Fullscreen -a "the original local url" &

Overall I am very happy with the purchase and this amazing piece of software!

I use them quite a lot for work (remote management of different display systems) and yeah, bang for buck you can't go wrong. You can also load a URL to change where the camera is pointing based on presets. Might be handy for checking different things, filament spools, what's going on on the pengpod, etc.

Not sure if this helps you or not, but I use one of these on my printer:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Wireless … amp;_uhb=1

It is cheap as chips, and you just request either a jpeg or mjpeg stream from the IP address of the camera itself. It is a bit big, but it does the job.

However, I was wondering if you provided support for the lilliput touchscreen lcd, as it displays the console only. Is there a way to run the web interface from the rPI?

Can I d/l this on my mac and load it on the sd card for the Peng?  Or do I need to boot into Ubuntu and do all the work there? My mac is 2008, and 11.04 is the latest version of Ubuntu I can put on it.  Will this cause problems?

Once it's on the card, how do I get the Peng to boot up from the card?  I've tried a few different suggestions, and it still boots into Android.

Thanks,
B

I've made a custom power cable that powers the pi via the 5v output on the Sanguinololu headers. Will post up more when I've got it running how I want.

Just install Python and run the webserver.py script.

This is great!  I was just about to ask about setting something like this up. I don't have a Pengpod tablet but do have an RPi and some other random equipment.  Now to find some time to dig into what you are doing. 

I'd like to do some software for my CAD software with a "Print" button that ultimately prints to my Solidoodle on the network.  It looks like I can maybe build on what you have.

The external connection thing can't really happen securely, and although I got it working from the browser, camera control really has to come from python so it can utilise the camera plugged into the server.

Just added some HTML5 localStorage features, so that settings are persistent across sessions.

Looking next to add Repetier-like EEPROM setting reading and storing in the future.

Very nice Lawsy. You did some very use friendly edits and bug fixes.

This means you can now control your printer from most mobile phone browsers.

Next test will be running the server on a Raspberry Pi.

This looks gorgeous! What a nice clean interface.  Now I got a fun project for my rPi. I'll let you know how it works out.

I will give it a try! Just FYI, Pronterface also has a web interface (that I never used, so I can't comment on its usability)
