    Hello guys,
    I know CP is amazing and JL has done some amazing work there, but seriously we need a decent standalone GUI for the boards, UGS and GRBLGRU does the job but some time they crash besides the limited controls.

    And for the G2, any of you guys tried UGS with it with no problems because i’m going to try the G2 and need to know if there is a working GUI for it.

    Thank you all.

    Some folks have developed specialized code senders, similar to UGS, but nothing like a “GUI” in the Chilipeppr class that I have seen.
    Some work has been done to ‘localize’ (disconnect from web) Chillipeppr.
    Not at all clear how well that has worked out for folks, given the continued expansion of CP feature development.

    CoolTerm works with G2, I see no reason UGS wouldn’t.

    So, no standalone GUI is expected soon? i know the folks behind UGS are working on the UGS Platform which i think would be great.

    Last question about tgFX, any one have a working download link? i wanna give a try

    tgFX is no longer maintained and incompatible with current tinyG FW.
    Don’t go there.

    My sense is that UGS is a (Gcode) file streaming enhancement to a CoolTerm-like command line interface. Enhancements to that UGS context should continue to work with tinyG and G2. There are not many UGS users that stop by this forum, I am not up to speed on where they are headed, feature wise.

    Keep in mind that Chilipeppr’s implementation of buffer management for tiny G, G2 and GRBL is decidedly **not** universal, it is quite application specific, optimized for the platforms in question. Xon/Xoff or RTS/CTS flow control will not match Chilipeppr performance, but should get the job done.

    There is actually an offline implementation of Chillipeppr.

    https://github.com/pistolero/chilipeppr-offline

    I’ve got it running on a linux laptop, and it works. There are a couple of issues, but its not too bad.

    Tried it several time but no luck, always gives me a blank page, gonna give it a try on another machine though.

    oh, and it starts up sooooooooooo much faster than tgfx (thank god), and it also doesn’t have the issues with memory leaks that tgfx had.

    Hello,

    I’m working on an application called Goko available here : http://goko.fr/.
    It supports TinyG & Grbl.

    A new version featuring updates is under development and should be available soon.

    It’s still under development, soi let me know on github if you find any issue :

    Downloading this now to test it out. And I agree that we need a stand-alone. I love chilipeppr, am grateful and impressed beyond belief at all the dev that’s gone into it, but I need a solution that doesn’t depend on an internet connection to work. So far I haven’t been able to get the standalone chilipeppr working for a number of different reasons.

    Sorry for the delay. It does not support TinyG G2 for now.
    I didn’t check the diff between TinyG and G2, but it’s something that should be achieved quite easily (when I have time to do it, of course 🙂 ). I have to see how stable is G2.

    You guys let me know if you have any issue/question/suggestion on Goko.

    Thanks 🙂
