Has anyone use the Raspberry pi to use the Universal Gcode sender. I am thinking designing my gcode in the house using sketchucam and send it to the raspberry pi in the garage will be a easy and cleaner solution. My wood shop is far from dust free. I have about 5 or 7 raspberry in the house from dogfood feeders to move controllers. I have a nice 10 inches monitor with the pi attached to the back. It would be a easy solution of the universal Gcode sender worked will on the PI. Thanks.
Hi According to this web site UGS it will run on the Raspberry you just need to make sure Java is installed and then unzip UGS where you want it.
Thank you David. I have java in my standard build I use in my pi os that I install. I give this a try.
BCNC works great on the Pi it's what I run my machine with. I'm going to try it this weekend with the Pi 7" touchscreen
I have a similar setup, with RPi in the garage controlling my Ox. I left UGS a long time ago, and have settled on cnc.js as the controller of choice. Works very well, controlled remotely via browser. Developer is very responsive. Now supports grbl, TinyG, and Smoothieware. BCNC is my alternate fave, but when I use that I rdp to the Pi instead of using web browser like cnc.js. GitHub - cncjs/cncjs: A web-based interface for CNC milling controller running Grbl, Smoothieware, or TinyG.
