yes, I will probably do that first.

Would it not be easier just to rename a file to one of the demos on the SD card (eg SAMPLE01.gcode) and overwrite the file on the card ?
I do this when I want to print several copies of a print and just select it from the LCD menu.
You can use a SD extension cable or Flashair card for wireless upload.

I don't want to invoke xyzware every time (using its reload of a saved .3w file).
Rather i want to change the temps on the offline file and start the print.

Is the python streaming this operation (stream to printer which saves the stream as the offline gcode file) or is that different (streaming without saving to the sd card)?
Of course the version 1.0a of the firmware/hardware is failing the checksum.

I'm trying to sniff the usb but latest attempts have failed with( 1- a pc win7 free usb analyzer prog crashed win7, 2- xyzware will not install on my osx 10.6.8, which I will not os upgrade, laptop too old- why should I, whats there in xyzware not compatible with earlier oxs's, suspect meaningless version number choice ).
Next attempt requires a python usb library on unix compat (osx) with some notes about how to connect to a pc's usb communication stream.
