@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 Can you post your heightmap.csv

@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.

@Jered what version of the Duet Web Control (web page) are you using? The plugin has to match the web page version. I do not have a 3.4 version posted but will look into getting one up.

@Jered I wrote this plugin a few years back to allow users to map keys and gamepads to jog or execute custom macros/commands.

The browsers as a whole have locked gamepads behind an SSL (https) requirement which makes the gamepad function not really work but keyboard binding works just fine. Give this a shot and see if it meets your needs.

@az3n0k i had to rebuild the plugin in 3.5

@az3n0k https://github.com/Sindarius/DWC_GamepadJogger_Plugin/releases/tag/1.1

Here is a direct link to the download off GitHub. I'll be updating the https://plugins.duet3d.com shortly.

@az3n0k I'll try to get an updated version put together today.

@az3n0k I need to update the plugin to support 3.5.

Are you using an older version web browser? I kind of stopped supporting this plugin because the Gamepad API on browsers now requires an HTTPS connection.

@Atair Sorry I am late to this, been a bit under the weather the past few days. When visualizing g-code for CNC Routers etc. I recommend setting the following settings.

Force line rendering (Make sure quality is not set to max)

Render G1 - Early on I ran into some cases where slicers were use G1 for everything including travels for 3d printers. I added this flag to help address G0/G1. Though I think with Fusion 360's changes they force all moves to G1 on their hobbyist versions so depending on what you use to generate g-code there could still be render issues.

With those settings you should have a better view of the toolpathing. Here is a sample of some drag knife tool pathing

@PrintMan that is correct their server solution is open source. You can find more information here.

https://www.obico.io/obico-cloud-vs-self-hosted.html

@Herve_Smith you can run a self hosted solution and not have to pay the cloud hosted fees but you would have to manage the instance.

I have Obico Sever running locally on a Jetson Nano.

@PrintMan Depending on what you need in terms of print management Obico could help you.

The Obico dashboard allows you to start prints on multiple printers from one dashboard. Also the plugin fully supports their functionality of sending a g-code file to their server and it will upload it to the printer when you tell it to start a print. They also provide notification support based on the printer state (printing, finished, etc.)

While I would not call it a full featured print controller like DWC it does give you a good multi-printer central point.
