    I see that over a year ago some brave folks were trying to use the Raspberry Pi with TinyG, but now that the pi 2 is out, is anyone trying to take advantage of the new hardware? I was wondering what folks who are using RPi (any flavor) are using for control software (LinuxCNC?).

    Over at Chilipeppr, folks are running the serial-port-json-server on Pi2, with mixed results. Appears the latest SPJS build (1.77) might have issues with Pi performance(or lack thereof).
    Check on the CP sites for the latest, issue being worked

    OK, so if the Pi2 is having mixed results running the serial-port-json-server, then I am guessing that the Pi2 will have trouble running something like LinuxCNC then!

    A forum meta question… I have “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” checked, but I don’t get the emails. I have checked my profile to make sure that I have the correct email address. Any thoughts?

    Actually, I’ve been doing a ton of testing and Rpi2 is really awesome running Serial Port JSON Server. The original Rpi is what seems to not do well on intense jobs. So I highly recommend Rpi2. I do NOT recommend original Rpi.

    jlauer,

    Are you using Chilipeppr or are you streaming the gcode from the RPi to the TinyG?

    JohnL IS Mr. Chilipeppr 🙂

    I would characterize the current situation as follows:
    In Chilipeppr architecture, there is the CP Browser Ap and the SPJS appliance Ap. The SPJS is typically close (a USB cable’s distance) to tinyG, the Web Ap can be anywhere. As unique needs for I/O arise that are not easily handled by tinyG, the SPJS hardware steps in. The Pi2 (and probably similar) appliance is a great fit. The SPJS Ap is evolving to provide greater control flexibility via the Pi2 with appropriate command links from the CP Web ap.

    Is a great place to watch the applications develop and evolve.
