smoothieware / webif-pack

A package containing different web interface options for Smoothieboard, to be deposited on SD cards.

Overview

Smoothie is a free, opensource, high performance G-code interpreter and CNC controller written in Object-Oriented C++ for the LPC17xx micro-controller ( ARM Cortex M3 architecture ). It will run on a mBed, a LPCXpresso, a SmoothieBoard, R2C2 or any other LPC17xx-based board. The motion control part is a port of the awesome grbl.

Documentation can be found here : http://smoothieware.org/

NOTE it is not necessary to build Smoothie yourself unless you want to. prebuilt binaries are available here: recent stable build

Quick Start

These are the quick steps to get Smoothie dependencies installed on your computer:

• Pull down a clone of the Smoothie github project to your local machine.
• In the root subdirectory of the cloned Smoothie project, there are install scripts for the supported platforms. Run the install script appropriate for your platform:
  • Windows: win_install.cmd
  • OS X: mac_install
  • Linux: linux_install
• You can then run the BuildShell script which will be created during the install to properly configure the PATH environment variable to point to the required version of GCC for ARM which was just installed on your machine. You may want to edit this script to further customize your development environment.

Building Smoothie

Follow this guide... http://smoothieware.org/compiling-smoothie

In short... From a shell, switch into the root Smoothie project directory and run:

make clean
make all

To upload you can do

make upload

if you have dfu-util installed.

Alternatively copy the file LPC1768/main.bin to the sdcard calling it firmware.bin and reset.

webif-pack's Issues

New version of my UI

I just updated/upgraded my UI and fixed some issues. Could you update your repo?

Possible to configure Ethernet link speed?

Is it possible for Smoothieboard at a hardware level to manage its Ethernet link speed, and if so can this be exposed to the user for control?

I have a Smoothieware 5x board, and I am also an amateur radio operator who is finally getting serious about hunting down persistent radio frequency interference (RFI) in my house. The Smoothieboard emits a fairly strong pair of carriers across a bunch of harmonic frequencies and I have multiple antennas picking up these RFI in the 14MHz and 28MHz ranges. Smoothieboard is not the only culprit, I also have a Cisco Linksys VoIP appliance and one of the many rebranded Chinese Security DVR systems -- both these also emit the exact same frequencies. No amount of toroid windings is taming the RFI from these Ethernet cables.

But! if I put a managed switch into the picture and force these devices' switch ports from Auto negotiate down to always run 10baseT (10mbit) full duplex, the RFI disappears. All these devices' (Smoothie included) use cases are served just fine at 10mbps link speed. Unfortunately I only have one managed switch and I need it elsewhere. Smoothieware devs, can you help clean up this ham's radio spectrum with a software fix? (Clarify: RFI is to be expected during 3D printer operation, but not 24/7 idle Ethernet noise)
