I have been working on a little side project to add a GCode Viewer to the DWC 2.0. I don't know if anyone would be interested in something like this but I have a little video showing it to see if there'd be interest in this.

Update
The newest versions of a new plugin for DWC 3.2 is a available here.
I have put together a new plugin that allows you to cancel objects in a simple 2D view.
This is an initial release and there is a known issue where sometimes you have to resize the browser to get the build area to show up.
You can get the release here

Been a while since I provided an update. I have been working toward getting my viewer converted to a plugin in 3.2. Here's a little sneak peek of where it is at today.
I have created a simple plugin that provides a list of CAN connected devices. For the moment the plugin also allows you to change the address of a CAN device by right clicking and Updating the CAN Address. As more functionality becomes available I will expand this plugin out.

I have put together a small overview video with some of the updates included in the updated GCode Viewer.

On top of that video some other items which have been implmeneted are feature coloring (PS and Cura) and a new HQ render mode.
Give it a go and let me know what you think!
For anyone who is building and running the latest beta 3.2 you can install and test the plugin. Enjoy!

There is a new version of the object cancel plugin updated for DWC 3.4.1

I am excited to announce we have a beta application/plugin to add Obico support to RepRapFirmware. With Obico you are able to utilize their cloud services or self-hosted solutions to watch for print failures. Obico is able to notify users and pause prints based on it’s detection services.
You can visit the GitHub repo here while we

Installation instructions are available at the GitHub site
I have also put together a YouTube video that walks through installation.

It is worth mentioning that while this does require a Raspberry Pi to host the app it does not require DSF(Duet SBC) to function. It can be pointed to a standalone printer. However, if you are running a DSF SBC printer you must be running 3.5b4 for this to work.
Looking forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy.

@cjm The structure of the spindle in the object model has changed so I will be making some adjustments to fix it.
Just finished implementing object cancelling in the 3d viewer.

@zBeeble Hello, I have a fix that I need to get put into place in DWC that will address this issue.
Outside of making a custom version of DWC to remove controls that you do not want accessible you could look into some third-party browser extensions that allows you to hide controls would be useful.

If you use Chrome those may work for you.
@MikeS the problem is that the current code in the viewer for arcs is not properly tokenizing out the U and V axes so it is ending up with a bad value. I’ll get a fix in place to make sure the extra axes get tokenized properly.
@MikeS I'll need to take a deeper look into what is going on with the viewer but it is upset with the U and V params. If you remove them the rendered matches NCViewer.
@paralepsis I'll have to look at it some more, part of the problem is that the visualization uses a marching algorithm to connect the points with each other. Since you are going between even and odd number of points it causes the drawing algorithm to not connect the points in a reliable fashion. I can look at interpolating a fake points to complete the mesh.
@gloomyandy I'd probably consider something a little more like the Euclid probe where you can pick up and drop off. Would be neat to see especially for folks who use glass/mirror beds.
@Jered I put together a release for 3.4 that should work/install for you.
https://github.com/Sindarius/DWC_GamepadJogger_Plugin/releases/tag/1.1-3.4.0
@Jered I'm sorry I assumed you have a Duet already running, is that the case? The Duet mainboard runs the Duet Web Control software. From that webpage you'd install the plugin I linked and you would get the ability to control the CNC using keyboard commands through that webpage.
@mrehorstdmd That's really slick looking! I've been wanting to build a sand table at home for a while. I really need to get back to working that project.
