    That sounds great. I’ve never worked with NodeJS before but it should only take me a couple days to get up to speed. I’m compiling it for the Pi now.

    I don’t completely use it as a headless setup. What I’ve been doing is using SSH to connect to the Pi and then run Plink from there. It’s kind of like a SSH to serial bridge.
    I’ve been kicking around the idea of a web interface that would run on the Pi where a file could be uploaded and a history of the status reports could be pulled up. I’m currently struggling with the serial implementations for PHP.

    That would be great.
    In the meantime I’ve converted the default settings for the ShapeOko to the individual commands and loaded them up. As it turns out that the default settings for the steppers push mine too hard. I have the 400 step/rev ones from Sparkfun and they top out at 88 RPM so I had to lower the max feed rate and travel rate down to 3200.

    I’m currently using a Raspberry Pi as the computer connected to the TinyG. I wanted to be able to load up code and walk away with my laptop. I’ve had a lot of luck streaming gcode files using plink (the CLI version of Putty).

    I’ve been using Plink (it’s a commandline version of Putty) to connect to the TinyG from Linux. You can open it from a terminal using the command:

    plink -serial /dev/ttyUSB0 -sercfg 115200,8,n,1,X

    I’ve been sending whole files of gcode by piping the file to plink like this:

    cat gcodes.txt| plink -serial /dev/ttyUSB0 -sercfg 115200,8,n,1,X

    Both of these examples I use “/dev/ttyUSB0” which assume that the TinyG is the first or only serial USB device. Hope this helps.
